Frequently Asked Questions About Blacklists

Everything you need to know about email deliverability, RBL lookups, and rapid delisting procedures.

A DNSBL (DNS-based Blackhole List) or RBL (Real-time Blackhole List) is a real-time reputation database that catalogs IP addresses and domains suspected of sending unsolicited bulk email (spam), distributing malware, or operating compromised mail relays.

When an email arrives at a receiving mail server (such as Gmail, Microsoft 365, or Yahoo Mail), the receiver executes a high-speed reverse DNS query against trusted RBLs (e.g. zen.spamhaus.org). If the query resolves to a loopback address like 127.0.0.2, the message is immediately rejected at the network perimeter or routed directly into the spam folder.
