Listed on URIBL? How to get delisted
multi.uribl.com
What a listing means
URIBL lists domains, not IPs: domains that appear in the links of unsolicited mail. Mail filters check the domains a message links to against it. multi.uribl.com combines several URIBL lists (black, grey, red and gold) in one query; ProbeKit counts a domain as listed only on the black list, which is the one filters act on.
How removal works
URIBL’s lookup and removal tools are at https://admin.uribl.com/ and need a free sign-in, so ProbeKit cannot link a prefilled check. Fix the cause first (a compromised site or form, a link domain you do not control, purchased lists), then request removal there. If the cause is still there, the domain is listed again.
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.
