Listed on Backscatterer.org? How to get delisted
ips.backscatterer.org
What a listing means
Backscatterer lists servers that send backscatter: bounces and auto-replies to forged senders of spam.
How removal works
Stop generating backscatter: reject spam during the SMTP session instead of accepting and bouncing it later, and stop auto-replies to unverified senders. Listings expire after a period without new backscatter.
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.
