How do I request removal from a blocklist?

Each blocklist has its own delisting process, typically accessible through their website. The general approach is consistent: fix the problem first, then request removal.

For Spamhaus, visit their blocklist removal center and follow the guided process. They require you to identify and address the cause before removal. Some listings auto-expire after the issue is resolved.

Barracuda has a removal request form at barracudacentral.org. SpamCop listings often expire automatically after spam reports stop, typically within 24 to 48 hours.

Before requesting removal, ensure you have actually fixed the problem. Identify what caused the listing, remediate it, and document your changes. Requesting delisting without fixing the issue may result in relisting or permanent designation.

Do not simply ask for forgiveness; demonstrate reform. Show that you have addressed the cause, not just the symptom.
