Blacklist (DNSBL) check

Whether the servers behind your domain are on the spam blocklists mail providers use to reject email.

Check this on your own domain now. It is free with a DomainGuard account, reads only public records, and gives you a report you can send to whoever runs your website.

What we look at

We check the IP addresses behind your domain against widely used DNS blocklists.

Why it matters to your business

A listing means some mail providers refuse or junk your email, often without a bounce, so you only notice when replies stop. Listings usually follow a compromised mailbox or website sending spam, which is worth knowing about for its own sake.

How to fix it

  1. Find out why: check for compromised mailboxes, contact forms being abused, or malware on the website.
  2. Fix the cause, then request delisting from each list's removal page.

If you would rather not touch DNS or server settings yourself, forward this page and your report to whoever manages your website, or ask us to do it.

Keep an eye on it

A one-off check tells you how things stand today. On Starter and up, DomainGuard re-checks the domains it watches every day and alerts you in the app when something important changes, so you hear about it before a customer does.
