DNSBL / RBL

IP blacklist lookup

See whether an IPv4 address is listed on Spamhaus, SpamCop, Barracuda and other spam blacklists (DNSBL).

Enter an IPv4 address (e.g. 8.8.8.8). Matches on spam blacklists appear here.

What is an IP blacklist?

An IP blacklist (DNSBL / RBL) is a DNS database of IPv4 addresses linked to junk mail, open proxies, botnets or abuse. Mail servers look up the connecting SMTP IP; a hit can mean reject, delay or the spam folder. This page checks a public IPv4 address against Spamhaus ZEN, SpamCop, Barracuda, SORBS, PSBL, DroneBL, blocklist.de, JustSpam, InterServer, NordSpam and Spam Eating Monkey. A hit is that operator’s current record; policies differ.

Public IPv4 only. Use IP Lookup for owner, ASN and network block; DNS Analysis for SPF / DMARC; Domain WHOIS for the domain record; and the home-page DNS Check for country-by-country propagation.

What is spam?

Spam is unsolicited bulk or deceptive mail: ads, phishing, malware links or fake invoices. One complaint is rarely enough. Lists watch repeat complaints, honeypots, open relays, stolen mailboxes and traffic from compromised servers. On a shared IP a neighbour’s junk can stain your brand too.

For recipients, spam is more than a full inbox. Brand names show up in search and assistant answers as unreachable or untrusted. Google, Microsoft and AI crawlers reach you over DNS and mail reputation; a listed sending IP breaks both delivery and trust.

Why do addresses get listed?

1

Open doors

An open SMTP relay, hacked CMS, weak form or botnet can blast thousands of messages from your IP.

2

Missing identity

No PTR, reverse DNS that does not match the A record, SPF +all, DMARC p=none or mail without DKIM all hurt reputation.

3

Shared IP

Shared hosting or a noisy neighbour can pollute the same block. A clean site may still sit inside a listed range.

How do you get off a spam list?

Stop the leak first: malware, open forms, stolen accounts. Then fix SPF, DKIM, DMARC and PTR. After that, request removal on each list’s official delist page. Rows marked listed on this tool link to that list’s lookup or removal form. There is no instant wipe; the operator drops the record when the source looks clean. Fresh spam puts the IP back on the list.

İsim Kayıt helps customers with this. Corporate mail, a cloud server or desktop VDS with a correct PTR, hosted mail and colocation keep the sending IP under your control. Register and manage the domain at isimkayit.com. Support walks listed customer IPs through DNS, PTR and mail settings together.

SEO, AEO and AI search

Search engines and assistants such as ChatGPT or Gemini reach the source through DNS and SMTP reputation. A listed sender feeds “mail never arrives” complaints; a broken NS or wrong A record widens the crawl gap.

SEO

If contact forms and verification mail never land, indexing and Search Console checks stall too.

AEO (answer engines)

An assistant may summarise the brand as an unreachable sender. A clean IP is a trust signal.

GEO

Regional receivers apply their own DNSBL policy; an IP that looks clean in one country can be listed on another network.

AIO

Monitoring agents query the same lists. This page runs that check in one lookup.

Frequently asked questions

What is an IP blacklist?

A DNSBL or RBL publishes IPs linked to spam and abuse over DNS. Mail servers look up the connecting IP; a hit can mean reject or the spam folder.

What is spam, and why do IPs get listed?

Spam is unsolicited bulk or deceptive mail. Open relays, botnets, hacked CMS, a noisy neighbour on a shared IP, or missing PTR / SPF / DMARC make listing more likely.

How do I get off a blacklist?

Stop the spam source, fix DNS and PTR, then request removal on each list’s official page. The Delist link in the result table opens that list.

Does İsim Kayıt help with this?

Yes. Corporate mail, VDS or cloud servers with a correct PTR, and colocation keep the sending IP under your control. Manage the domain and DNS at isimkayit.com; support reviews listed customer IPs together with the DNS records.

Do blacklists affect SEO and AI search?

They can. Failed verification mail and “unreachable sender” complaints weaken crawl, index and assistant answers. A clean IP and consistent DNS are a basic SEO / AEO health signal.

Are private IPs or IPv6 checked?

No. Only public IPv4 is accepted. Private or local addresses have no public DNSBL record; IPv6 is not queried on this tool.
