With spam, spoofing, and “sporting” (where your opt-in list ‘subscribers’ re’port’ you as a spammer by clicking a spam link either intentionally or non-intentionally), getting your IP address and/or your domain name blacklisted is easier than ever to achieve these days.

And, no, getting on email blacklists is definitely not something you want to have happen! But, if one day you find that your email system is in tact just fine and suddenly no one is receiving your emails, you have to start asking questions as to why you’re having problems sending email. One of the first questions you can eliminate before contacting your email hosting company is to check your IP address and/or domain name with various blacklists.

Today, I discovered today a free online blacklist checker tool as shown in the picture. I’ve blackened out private data, but you can see where the verification happens once I type in a domain name or IP address.

Until now, checking checking for blacklist status has always been kind of a pain. I suppose these kinds of tools have been out there for a while, but no one seems to be really promoting them in my circle.

Let me know how it works for ya.

Anyone willing to share their blacklist story here and tell us what you did about the problem?
