Blacklist remediation checklist

A listing is a symptom. Fix the cause before you request removal.

Confirm the listing

• Match the exact IP or domain scope shown in the alert.
• Note the list operator and any evidence URL provided.

Fix the root cause

• Stop problematic sending paths immediately.
• Review compromised accounts, open relays, and sudden volume spikes.
• Correct authentication and bounce handling where relevant.

Request delisting

• Follow the operator process only after the issue is resolved.
• Document what changed so the request is credible.

Prevent recurrence

• Keep monitoring enabled so new listings surface quickly.
