Blacklist Checker

Check if a domain is listed on Spamhaus, SURBL, URIBL, Barracuda, or SpamCop.

Domain Blacklist Checker

Check if a domain is listed on major DNS-based blacklists. Being listed on a blacklist can cause email delivery failures, reduce search visibility, and damage your domain reputation. Our checker queries Spamhaus DBL, SURBL, URIBL, Barracuda, SpamCop, and Spamhaus ZEN to give you a complete picture of your domain blacklist status.

Blacklists we check

  • Spamhaus DBL — domain-based blocklist for known spam domains
  • Spamhaus ZEN — combined IP blocklist (SBL, XBL, PBL)
  • SURBL — URI-based blocklist for spam message content
  • URIBL — real-time URI blocklist for phishing and malware
  • Barracuda — reputation-based blocklist for email filtering
  • SpamCop — community-driven blocklist from user reports

What to do if your domain is blacklisted

If your domain appears on a blocklist, identify the root cause — common reasons include compromised accounts sending spam, misconfigured mail servers, or hosting malware. Once the issue is resolved, most blocklist providers offer a delisting request process. Spamhaus and Barracuda provide self-service removal tools, while others may delist automatically after the issue is fixed. Regular monitoring helps catch listings early before they impact email deliverability or search rankings.
