How to get removed from blocklist.de
blocklist.de removes entries automatically when the activity stops, and also accepts removal requests.
- 1 Find the cause on the sending host: a compromised mailbox or script, an open relay, a missing or generic PTR record, a sudden volume spike or a stale list hitting spam traps.
- 2 Fix the cause before asking for removal. A list that relists you quickly usually takes longer to remove you the second time.
- 3 Wait for automatic expiry (48 hours without new reports), or request removal sooner at https://www.blocklist.de/en/delist.html.
- 4 Re-check the IP address here after the next zone update to confirm the listing is gone. Monitoring alerts you if it comes back.
