So, here are a few definitions to help you talk about what is actually going on. BlacklistWhen an IP or domain is blacklisted, traffic from or to that location is cutoff. Typically, blacklisting is due to some bad action on the part of the IP address or domain owner, like sending spam, being infected with malware or viruses or facilitating spam through a bad mail configuration.Short-term blacklisting is a wake up call to fix problems and harden your email or web server security. Long-term blacklisting will cripple the business run from that IP address or web server. We provide much more information on blacklisting throughout our.For more information on the blacklists we curate, check out our No-ListNo-list simply means that you are not listed on a blacklist, whitelist or greylist.

We understand the pain of being blacklisted and how that can affect your business and revenue, but delisting does not happen overnight. Blacklists need to wait to make sure they are delisting legitimate businesses while still catching spammers. If they delist you too early, they lower their reputation as a valuable mechanism to combat spam.GreylistMany blacklist operators have a second, less severe category for activity that isn’t considered overtly malicious, but is considered to be problematic. These operators may choose to classify an IP address or domain name in this state as greylisted. Greylisted simply means that the servers have done something bad, but not enough to have traffic completely banned. Greylisted IP addresses and domain names could eventually be promoted to full blacklisting or unlisted entirely.At MxToolbox, we are primarily concerned with Blacklisting.
