Blacklist Check and Monitoring

Check any domain or IP against 100+ blacklists and SPF, DKIM and DMARC in seconds. Turn on monitoring and know the moment you get listed.

Checks run by DNS only. Nothing is sent from or to your domain.

Check versus monitoring

A check shows today. Monitoring shows the minute it changes.

Most teams learn they are blacklisted from a client or a falling open rate, days late. The same check, run on a schedule with alerts, turns that into a five minute fix.

Coverage

Every DNS signal that decides where your mail lands

Blacklists are one cause of the spam folder. Broken authentication and DNS records are the others, so we watch them in one place.

Use cases

Built for teams that send for a living

Hundreds of client domains, one view.

Bulk add every sending domain and mailbox domain, label each batch by client, and get one Slack message the minute any of them lands on a list.

How it works for cold email agencies
Email agency studio with team members at large monitors working through client campaigns

Catch the broken sender before the sale.

A new review app or SMS tool starts sending as your domain and fails DMARC. Upload the DMARC aggregate report and its sending IPs show up by source, long before Black Friday volume turns it into a spam folder problem.

How it works for ecommerce

Password resets that always arrive.

Route blacklist and authentication alerts into your on-call tool with a signed webhook. Transactional mail problems open an incident like any other outage.

How it works for saas
Developer on call reading an alert on a phone next to a laptop at night

Know the day your sending IP gets listed.

Watch your ESP sending IPs and your domain on 109 blacklists, so a listing is an alert you act on, not a revenue dip you explain later.

How it works for newsletters

Thousands of IPs, watched every 5 minutes.

Monitor up to 5,000 customer IPs and domains on the Scale plan and send each listing to your ticket system with a signed webhook the moment a customer IP gets listed.

Every finding is one sentence and one fix

No raw return codes to decode. Each check ends in a score from 0 to 100 and plain findings, ordered by what costs you the most mail.

  • New sending IP 185.62.14.20 is listed on 2 blacklists (Spamhaus SBL, Barracuda).

    Fix. Fix the cause, then request removal. Both delisting links and the steps are in the alert.

  • SPF uses 12 DNS lookups. The limit is 10, so receivers return permerror.

    Fix. Remove the include for the tool you stopped using and flatten the second level includes.

  • DMARC alignment fails for 14% of messages, all from one ESP.

    Fix. Set up DKIM signing with your own domain in that ESP and publish the key it gives you.

  • No PTR record for 185.62.14.21, so Gmail and Yahoo reject bulk mail from it.

    Fix. Ask the owner of the IP to publish reverse DNS that points to your mail hostname.

  • p=reject is safe for northwind-supply.com.

    Fix. Every legitimate source has passed DMARC for 30 days.

Compared

One panel instead of three tools

Most teams stitch together a free blacklist checker, a DNS record checker and a DMARC tool. Here is how the common choices line up, from their public pages.

Based on each vendor's public pricing and feature pages in October 2026. Plans change, so check their sites before you decide.

"The free checkers are enough."

They show one IP at one moment. Listings appear overnight and expire on their own, so a weekly look misses most of them.

"Our ESP handles deliverability."

Your ESP watches its own IPs. Your domain, your other senders and your DMARC alignment are still yours to watch.

"We will notice when open rates drop."

By then the list has been rejecting mail for days. An alert at 3 a.m. is cheaper than a lost week of campaigns.

For the decision maker

What one unnoticed listing costs

Revenue that depends on email stops quietly when a list blocks you. Put in your own numbers and compare it with a year of monitoring.

Two colleagues at a meeting table estimating revenue lost to the spam folder

Worked example. A store making $40,000 a month by email, blocked at 30% of its subscribers for three days, loses about $1,200, every time it happens. The Business plan costs $888 a year and flags a listing within 15 minutes.

DNS only checks

Blacklist and authentication checks are DNS queries. Nothing is sent from or to your domain.

No mailbox access

Monitoring never asks for a mailbox login, an API key of your ESP or sending rights.

Team roles

Administrator and editor roles for teammates, within the user limit of your plan.

Encrypted everywhere

TLS in transit, encrypted storage, report data deleted when you delete the domain or the account.

FAQ

Questions before you start

Anything else goes to [email protected] and gets a reply from a person.

How do I check if my domain or IP is blacklisted?

Type the domain, an email address or the IP into the box at the top of this page and press Check Now. We query 100+ IP and domain blacklists by DNS and show each result live, together with your SPF, DKIM and DMARC records.

Is the blacklist check free?

One check is free and needs no account. Creating an account unlocks the full report for that check once. Continuous monitoring, alerts and history are part of the paid plans, starting at $24 a month on yearly billing.

How often does monitoring run?

Every 60 minutes on Starter, every 15 minutes on Business and every 5 minutes on Agency and Scale. You can also re-check any domain or IP on demand from the dashboard.

How do alerts reach us?

By email and Slack on every plan, plus Microsoft Teams and signed webhooks on Business and higher. An alert names the list, the IP or domain, what the listing means and the steps to get removed.

What happens when we get listed?

You get an alert within minutes, the Domain Health score drops and the finding shows the exact removal steps for that list. When the list drops you, you get a second alert so you know the issue is closed.

Do you send email from our domain or need access to our mailboxes?

No. Blacklist and authentication checks run by DNS only. DMARC aggregate reports are files you upload to your workspace, and you can delete them at any time.

Can agencies monitor many client domains?

Yes. Agency covers 500 domains and IPs checked every 5 minutes, with bulk import, a label per batch and 25 users with roles. Scale covers 5,000.

Can we cancel or change plans?

Yes, from the billing page at any time. Moving up charges the difference right away, moving down applies at the next renewal, and cancelling keeps access until the end of the paid period.
