Do your letters get spammed? Check ip on ban
HostTracker offers to check if your domain got into the blacklist DNS. This can happen for a number of reasons: for example, suspicion of sending spam, posting prohibited content (or even just links to sites where there is one), etc. How to identify it and how to deal with it? Read under the cut.
The criteria by which domain blacklists are compiled are quite different, and also change with the evolution of algorithms. Therefore, there is no guarantee that even a domain that is crystal clear from the point of view of law, morality and unofficial rules of the Internet will not accidentally get there with time. There are many reasons why this may happen. There is no particular point in listing them all.
We recently encountered this problem. As a monitoring service, we constantly send out site status alerts, daily and other periodic reports. And at some point it turned out that for some clients these letters fall into spam.

First, it is necessary to detect the problem in time. To do this, we specifically developed a new free feature - check domain availability in DNSBL :
It should be noted that this function is not unique - there are other similar services, for example, Mxtoolbox, with the help of which we found that our domain was included in a couple of “blacklists”. But we decided that, among other tools offered by HostTracker, this one would also be relevant and useful.
A typical result of our DNSBL check is presented in the first image for this article. If any problems are found, the reason for hitting the site in the blacklist is indicated.
As a rule, first the domain is included in the list “for clarification of circumstances”. For your part, you can find out these circumstances - to begin with, simply prove that you are a human being, not a robot. To do this, go to the website of the corresponding blacklist and follow the instructions. Everything is quite simple - enter the domain name, click the "unlock" button. In some cases, you may need to write a letter asking you to remove it from the list. But before this, of course, should eliminate the cause of the hit.
For example, in the case of suspicion of spamming, you need to make sure that nobody uses your mail server for malicious purposes. It is highly recommended to configure reverse DNS detection for the mail server. You can also configure SPF. For most spam lists, this will be enough to not add there anymore.
Of course, there may be other reasons why a domain might fall into such a list. But it is almost always possible to whiten the proud name of your site, if, of course, it falls into this list really by accident. The speed of your reaction is important in this matter - the sooner you notice the problem and begin to react to it - the more likely it is that the domain does not have time to “spread out” through all the blacklist and take root firmly there. And that’s why we offer you our new tool.
