How to Get Removed from a Blacklist (Properly)

Updated today

What this is

A step-by-step guide to removing your domain or IP from a blacklist.


Step-by-step

  1. Identify the blacklist (e.g. Spamhaus)

  2. Determine how serious the listing is

  3. Identify the root cause (spam complaints, bad lists, volume spikes)

  4. Fix the underlying issue before doing anything else

  5. Submit a delisting request

  6. Resume sending slowly and carefully


Important

If you request removal without fixing the root cause, you will likely be listed again quickly.
