Malware and Blacklisted IPs FAQ

It is very important to note IPs get blocked for a lot of reasons, but in most cases it is because emails get comprimised and your email address spams others. So before you get your IP’s removed for the Blacklist you need to make sure the thing that caused the balacklisting to happen is resolved. If you dont and the IP gets lised again it gets very hard to get it off the list.

First step to getting your IP off a Blacklist is to get your IP

  1. in web browser type         “whats my IP”
    1. The next screen will show you your IP address  ( write it down )
  2. go to https://www.spamhaus.org/lookup/
    1. Take your IP and search it
    2. This will tell you if you are on a list and in many cases why you are on the list.
  3. You might need to have you computer serviced and cleaned of virus or malware.
  4. Once you have completed the process to clean your devices… then follow the black list removal process.
