What is Email Blacklist?

An email blacklist (or block list / DNSBL) is a database of IP addresses and domains flagged for sending spam. Mailbox providers check these lists, and being on one can send your mail straight to spam or block it entirely. Senders get listed for spam complaints, hitting spam traps, or sudden volume spikes from an unwarmed domain.

How to stay off blacklists

Authenticate with SPF/DKIM/DMARC, warm new senders, keep complaints and bounces low, and never send to purchased lists. Keres manages sending behavior to protect reputation and avoid listings.

Email Blacklist — FAQ

How do I know if I’m blacklisted?

Sudden drops in delivery and inbox placement are warning signs; blacklist-monitoring tools can confirm. Prevention — authentication, warmup, and clean lists — matters far more than removal.
