Find out whether your domain or mail server is on an email blocklist, and exactly how to get off it.

Give it a domain and it finds your real mail servers automatically from MX and SPF records, then checks every IP against the major blocklists. Give it an IP and it checks that directly. Check one domain or a thousand in one run.

What makes it different

  • Finds the right IPs for you. You don't need to know your mail server's IP; just enter the domain.
  • Knows shared servers. If your mail runs on Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, GoDaddy and similar, a listing on their shared servers is their problem, not yours. The report says so instead of alarming you.
  • No false "clean" results. Before checking, it runs a test lookup on every blocklist. Lists that don't answer are reported as not checked, never as clean. Refusal codes (like Spamhaus's 127.255.255.254) are never mistaken for listings.
  • Tells you how to fix it. Every listing comes with what it means, how serious it is, and the removal page.

About Spamhaus

Spamhaus is the blocklist most mailbox providers use, but it refuses lookups from cloud servers (including this one) on its free public mirrors. Get a free Data Query Service (DQS) key from Spamhaus and paste it into the input; the Actor will then include Spamhaus ZEN and DBL. Without a key the report tells you Spamhaus wasn't checked.

Barracuda's list isn't included because it only answers DNS servers registered with Barracuda.

Input

Output

  • Readable report (HTML): a status for every domain, every listed IP, and a "What to do" list with removal links.
  • Results dataset: one row per domain/IP with status and listings, ready for CSV/Excel export.
  • Full details (JSON): every check against every list.

Monitor automatically

Schedule the Actor daily or weekly on Apify and connect an integration (email, Slack, Make, Zapier, n8n) to get alerted the moment one of your domains or clients is listed. MSPs can check all client domains in one run.
