Listed on UCEPROTECT Level 3? How to get delisted

dnsbl-3.uceprotect.net

What a listing means

UCEPROTECT Level 3 lists entire networks (ASNs) with many Level 1 listings.

How removal works

Only your network operator can resolve a Level 3 listing. Very few receivers block on Level 3.

UCEPROTECT Level 3 lookup / removal

Before you request removal

  1. Confirm the listing with ProbeKit’s blacklist check and note every list that shows the IP or domain.
  2. 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.
  3. Fix it, and make sure the IP has a proper reverse DNS (PTR) name and that SPF, DKIM and DMARC pass for your mail.
  4. Use the list operator’s removal process. Requesting removal before fixing the cause usually gets the IP relisted.
  5. Re-check after a day, and add a blacklist monitor so you hear about the next listing before your users do.
