Understanding Email Blacklists

What are Blacklists?

Email blacklists are databases of IP addresses and domains known to send spam. Being listed can cause your emails to be blocked or filtered by major providers like Gmail and Microsoft 365.

Severity Matters

Not all blacklists are equal. Critical lists like Spamhaus are used by billions of mailboxes, while low-severity lists may have high false-positive rates and limited impact.

Shared vs Dedicated

If you use Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, or other shared services, blacklist issues on shared IPs are managed by your provider and may not require your action.

Blacklist Categories

Critical

Spamhaus, SURBL Phishing

Used by Gmail, Microsoft, Yahoo. Immediate action required.

High

Barracuda, SpamCop

Widely used by enterprise. Significant impact.

Medium

SORBS, UCEPROTECT L1

Secondary filters. Moderate impact.

Low

UCEPROTECT L2/L3

High false positives. Usually safe to ignore.

Pro Tip: Check your blacklist status regularly, especially after sending large email campaigns. Focus on critical and high-severity listings first. Use our Domain Health Check for comprehensive email authentication analysis.
