- Check with your ISP or email provider:
- Contact your Internet Service Provider (ISP) or email provider's support team to ask if your mail server is blacklisted.
To check with major blacklists, you'll need to provide your mail server's IP address or domain name. You can usually find this information in your email provider's settings or by contacting their support team.
Once you've checked with the blacklists, you can take steps to resolve any issues that may have caused your mail server to be blacklisted. Common reasons for blacklisting include:
- Sending spam or unsolicited emails
- Failing to properly authenticate emails
- Having an open relay or allowing unauthorized access to your mail server
- Not following best practices for email sending and receiving
