Why blacklist status matters

If your mail server's IP address lands on a DNS blacklist (DNSBL), inbox providers may silently send your email to the spam folder or reject it outright. Blacklists exist to fight spam, but a legitimate business can end up listed through a compromised account, a shared IP, or a temporary reputation problem — and the damage to your email deliverability is immediate.

Our free blacklist checker tests your IP address or domain against the major DNSBLs that email providers rely on. Catching a listing early means you can fix the underlying cause and request delisting before it costs you customers.
