Why IsMyEmailBlacklisted

We check what Gmail checks  before Gmail does 

The same blacklists, DNS records, and authentication checks that determine whether your email lands in the inbox or the void.

60 Blacklists. Zero Blind Spots.

Spamhaus, Barracuda, SpamCop, UCEPROTECT, SpamRATS, and more. Every list that matters, every check that counts.

Parallel DNS. Instant Results.

We fire 60 concurrent lookups and return your full report in under 10 seconds. Not minutes — seconds.

Fix It, Don't Just Find It.

Every issue comes with a step-by-step remediation playbook. We don't just tell you what's broken — we tell you how to fix it.

What is an email blacklist?

An email blacklist (also called a DNSBL or RBL) is a real-time database of IP addresses and domains that have been flagged for sending spam or suspicious email. Major inbox providers like Gmail, Outlook, and Yahoo consult these lists to decide whether to deliver, filter, or block your emails.

Getting listed can happen to any domain — a compromised server, misconfigured mail relay, or even a brief spike in complaint rates. The worst part? You often don't know you're listed until customers start reporting missing emails.

IsMyEmailBlacklisted checks your domain and sending IP against all 60 major blacklists in parallel, returning results in under 10 seconds. If you're listed, you get the exact steps to get removed.

Why your emails go to spam

Spam filtering is complex. Even a perfectly legitimate email can land in spam if your sending infrastructure has gaps. The most common causes:

  • Blacklisted IP or domainYour sending IP appears on one or more spam databases
  • Missing or invalid SPF recordReceiving servers can't verify you're authorized to send (RFC 7208)
  • No DKIM signatureMessages aren't cryptographically signed, lowering trust (RFC 6376)
  • Weak DMARC policyNo enforcement means spoofers can impersonate your domain (RFC 7489)
  • Missing reverse DNS (PTR)No PTR record is an instant red flag for spam filters (RFC 8461)

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is an email blacklist?
An email blacklist is a database of IP addresses and domains known to send spam. If your email server's IP or domain appears on a blacklist, your emails may be blocked or sent to spam folders by receiving mail servers.
How many blacklists does IsMyEmailBlacklisted check?
We monitor 60 email blacklists including all major ones like Spamhaus, Barracuda, SpamCop, and UCEPROTECT. All plans check all 60 blacklists — plan controls monitoring frequency, not coverage.
How do I get removed from an email blacklist?
Each blacklist has its own delisting process. IsMyEmailBlacklisted provides step-by-step incident playbooks tailored to each blacklist, guiding you through the exact delisting procedure so you can resolve issues quickly.
What are SPF, DKIM, and DMARC?
SPF (Sender Policy Framework), DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail), and DMARC (Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting & Conformance) are email authentication protocols that help prevent email spoofing and improve deliverability. We validate all three for your domain.
Is there a free plan?
Yes! Our free plan lets you monitor 2 domains with unlimited manual checks across all 60 blacklists, plus SPF, DKIM, and DMARC validation. No credit card required.
How often are blacklist checks performed?
Check frequency depends on your plan. Free users can run unlimited manual checks across all 60 blacklists. Starter plans include hourly automated checks. Pro plans check every 15 minutes, and Agency plans check every 5 minutes. More frequent checks mean faster detection and quicker response times when issues arise.
Why are my emails going to spam?
Emails land in spam for several reasons: your sending IP or domain may be on a blacklist, your SPF/DKIM/DMARC records may be misconfigured or missing, your mail server may lack proper reverse DNS, or your sending reputation may be low. IsMyEmailBlacklisted checks all of these factors and provides specific remediation steps for each issue found.
Can I monitor multiple domains?
Absolutely. Our Free plan supports 2 domains, Starter supports 5, Pro supports 25, and Agency supports up to 100 domains. Each domain is independently monitored with its own check schedule, alerts, and incident history. This makes it ideal for agencies and businesses managing multiple brands or client domains.
What happens when I get blacklisted?
When we detect that your domain or IP has been listed on a blacklist, we immediately send you an alert via your configured channels (email, Slack, webhook, or SMS depending on your plan). Along with the alert, you receive a tailored incident playbook with step-by-step delisting instructions specific to that blacklist, so you can resolve the issue as quickly as possible.

Every hour you're blacklisted is revenue you'll never recover. Start monitoring now — it takes 30 seconds.
