Self-service web form after resolving the spam source

Time to Removal

24-48 hours after submitting removal request.

Overview

SpamEatingMonkey (bl.spameatingmonkey.net) is a DNS-based blacklist that detects spam using a network of spam trap addresses. It lists IPs that send email to these trap addresses, which are addresses that have never opted in to any mailing list. SpamEatingMonkey also maintains a backscatter list for servers generating bounce-to-forged-sender messages.

Why You Might Be Listed

  • 1Your IP sent email to SpamEatingMonkey spam trap addresses
  • 2Your mailing lists contain scraped, purchased, or harvested email addresses
  • 3Your server is generating backscatter (bounces to forged sender addresses)

Step-by-Step Removal

1

Check your listing

Visit spameatingmonkey.com/removal and enter your IP address to check your listing status on both the main blocklist and the backscatter list.

2

Clean your mailing lists

Spam trap hits indicate that your lists contain invalid addresses. Run your mailing lists through an email verification service to remove invalid, disposable, and trap addresses. Never use purchased or scraped email lists.

3

Submit a removal request

After cleaning your lists and stopping the spam trap hits, visit spameatingmonkey.com/removal and submit a removal request via their web form.

4

Implement double opt-in

To prevent future listings, implement double opt-in (confirmed opt-in) for all new email subscribers. This ensures that every address on your list belongs to someone who actively confirmed their subscription.

Important Tips

  • ●Spam trap hits are a strong signal that your email lists are dirty. A list cleaning service can help identify and remove trap addresses.
  • ●SpamEatingMonkey also maintains a backscatter list. If you are on that list, configure your mail server to reject invalid recipients at SMTP time.
  • ●Double opt-in is the gold standard for list building and prevents virtually all spam trap hits from new subscriptions.
