How to get removed from Kempt.net DNSBL
Kempt.net DNSBL removes entries automatically once the activity stops. There is no form to speed it up.
- 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 No removal request is needed: the entry expires automatically once the activity stops.
- 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.
