Blocklists

Blocklist monitoring watches your dedicated IPs and sending domains against the industry's major blocklist operators, with hourly checks and proactive alerts through Virtual Deliverability Manager Advisor when anything is listed.

Monitored blocklist operators

Global deliverability monitors the following blocklist operators:

  • IP blocklists – Monitors your dedicated IPs against major IP-based blocklist operators.

  • Domain blocklists – Monitors your sending domains against major domain-based blocklist operators.

What blocklist monitoring provides

The blocklists page displays the following information:

  • Summary – The number of monitored domains and IPs, and how many are currently listed on a blocklist.

  • Monitored domains – A table showing each monitored domain, its current status (Listed or Clean), and the number of blocklists it appears on.

  • Monitored IPs – A table showing each monitored IP address, its current status, and the number of blocklists it appears on.

  • Listing details – For each listed entity, the blocklist name, listing date, reason, and delisting procedure with direct links to the blocklist operator's removal process.
