7 DNSBL Providers

Checks against Spamhaus ZEN, Barracuda, SpamCop, CBL, Spamhaus DBL, SURBL, and URIBL. The major lists that matter for email deliverability.

Automatic IP Resolution

Add a domain and Metric Tower automatically resolves the A record and checks the underlying IP against IP-based blocklists. No manual IP lookup required.

Listing & Delisting Alerts

Get notified the moment your IP or domain is newly listed on a blocklist, and again when it is removed. No surprises.

Continuous Blocklist Surveillance

Automated checks, historical tracking, and multi-channel alerts keep your infrastructure clean.

Daily Scheduled Checks

Automated blocklist checks run daily so you catch new listings early. The sooner you know about a listing, the faster you can request delisting and restore deliverability.

Historical Tracking

Track listing and delisting events over time. See which blocklists flag your infrastructure most often and identify patterns that indicate a compromised sender or relay.

Email Deliverability Context

Pair blocklist monitoring with Metric Tower's email security scanner (SPF, DKIM, DMARC checks) for a complete picture of your domain's email health. One platform for everything.

DNSBL Protocol

Uses the standard DNSBL reverse-IP lookup protocol for accurate, fast checks. Each provider is queried independently so you see exactly which lists flag your infrastructure.

Check if Your Domains Are Blocklisted

Monitor your mail servers and sending IPs against 7 major DNS blocklists. Get alerted the moment you are listed so you can request delisting before your email deliverability suffers.
