About

The IP & Domain Blacklist Checker queries major free DNSBLs (DNS-based blocklists) to see if an IP address or domain is listed for spam, malware, or abuse.

Use it to diagnose deliverability problems, check sender reputation, or verify whether your infrastructure is blocklisted.

Multi-zone coverage

Checks Spamhaus, Barracuda, SpamCop, SORBS, and other free DNSBL zones.

IP & domain support

Auto-detects input type and resolves MX IPs for domain checks.

Detailed results

Per-zone status, response codes, and delisting links where available.

Reputation score

Composite score showing overall blacklist health at a glance.

How to use this tool

Enter IP or domain

Paste an IPv4/IPv6 address or domain name to check.

Resolve targets

For domains, resolves A and MX records to find all IPs to check.

Query DNSBL zones

Looks up each IP/domain against configured blocklist zones in parallel.

Review listings

See which zones list the target, with response codes and delisting URLs.

Understanding the results

Clean

Not listed on any checked DNSBL zones, good sender reputation signal.

Listed

One or more blocklists list this IP or domain, expect deliverability impact.

Inconclusive

Some zones timed out or returned ambiguous responses, retry or check manually.

Important result fields

Reputation score

0-100 based on listing count and zone weights.

Results table

Best practices & recommendations

Check sending IPs

Test the IPs your mail server or ESP actually uses, not just the domain.

Request delisting promptly

Use delisting URLs in results to begin removal from each list.

Fix root cause

Listings often indicate compromised accounts, open relays, or spam complaints.

Monitor regularly

Re-check after delisting to confirm removal and prevent re-listing.
