How do I identify the cause of the blocklisting?

Identifying blocklisting causes:

Blocklist information:

Lookup pages often show listing reason

May reference specific incidents or dates

Some provide evidence or samples

Correlation analysis:

What sending occurred just before listing?

Any unusual volume or list sources?

New campaigns or segments?

Common causes:

Spam trap hits (purchased or old lists)

Complaint volume spikes

Compromised accounts sending spam

Authentication failures

Malware or phishing content

Investigation:

Review feedback loop reports

Check for unusual sending patterns

Audit recent list additions

The violation citation often indicates the offense. Cross-reference with your activity logs.
