How can you verify FBL integration is working?

Verify FBL integration through controlled testing:

Create test accounts at providers where you are registered for FBL (Outlook, Yahoo, etc.). Send legitimate messages from your production system to these test addresses.

Log into the test accounts and click the spam button on your messages. This generates real complaint reports through the FBL system.

Verify that complaint reports arrive at your registered FBL address within the expected timeframe (usually minutes to hours).

Confirm that your systems automatically suppress the test addresses based on the FBL data. The addresses should not receive future mail.

Testing is like running a fire drill. You verify that the alarm system works and that everyone knows the evacuation procedure before a real emergency occurs.
