Frequently asked questionsCommon questions answered

These answers explain common blacklist check tasks, expected input formats, and edge cases so both visitors and search engines can understand what this tool does.

What is a DNSBL?

A DNS-based Blackhole List (DNSBL) is a database of IP addresses with a history of spam, malware hosting, or other abuse. Email servers query these lists in real time to decide whether to accept or reject incoming mail.

Which blacklists are checked?

17 lists including Spamhaus ZEN, Barracuda, SpamCop, SORBS SPAM, SORBS HTTP, UCEPROTECT L1/L2, DroneBL, NiX Spam, Backscatterer, SpamRATS (Spam/Dyna/NoPtr), Mailspike, PSBL, LASHBACK UBL, and Truncate.

Why is IPv6 not supported?

The DNSBL protocol works by reversing the octets of an IPv4 address and appending the blacklist zone. This mechanism does not map cleanly to IPv6 addresses, so most major DNSBLs only index IPv4 addresses.

My IP is listed — what do I do?

Visit the blacklist's website and use their delisting form. Spamhaus and most other operators provide a self-service removal process once the underlying issue (spam, malware, open relay) has been resolved.
