Listed on UCEPROTECT Level 1? How to get delisted
dnsbl-1.uceprotect.net
What a listing means
UCEPROTECT Level 1 lists individual IPs caught sending to its spam traps.
How removal works
Level 1 listings expire automatically after a period with no new spam-trap hits; the operator also sells express delisting. Fix the source rather than paying to be delisted.
Before you request removal
- Confirm the listing with ProbeKit’s blacklist check and note every list that shows the IP or domain.
- Find the cause: compromised mailbox passwords, malware on a device, an open relay or open proxy, a misbehaving web form, or sending to purchased or stale lists.
- Fix it, and make sure the IP has a proper reverse DNS (PTR) name and that SPF, DKIM and DMARC pass for your mail.
- Use the list operator’s removal process. Requesting removal before fixing the cause usually gets the IP relisted.
- Re-check after a day, and add a blacklist monitor so you hear about the next listing before your users do.
