Comments on How to Avoid Being Blacklisted

How to Avoid Being Blacklisted A blacklist usually refers to a list of e-mail or IP addresses known to send spam e-mails or some other type of unsolicited messages. Such lists are currently used by mail servers for filtering incoming e-mails and blocking the ones listed, in order to improve mail security and integrity. The blacklist is also the opposite of what is called a whitelist.

I wrote about using the postmaster services of major ISPs some time ago.  I suggest signing up your IP addresses for the AOL feedback loop.  I find spammers often hit AOL. So using the postmaster services of major ISP's can be helpful.  With the feedback loop, AOL will send you notices anytime someone flags a message as spam.  This is very useful for blocking the spam before you trigger their and possibly other blacklist limits.

Question about [email protected] and [email protected] addresses: If I'm willing to send emails from a subdomain, like [email protected], the abuse and postmaster addresses have to belong to @subdomain.yourdomain.tld or @yourdomain.tld?
