Thanks for visiting! Remember that nowadays, (most) blocklists don't really govern deliverability and inbox placement. Want to learn more about email marketing best practices, email technology, and deliverability troubleshooting? Then you'll want to check out my other site, Spam Resource.

New blocklist: SPFBL

Leonardo from SPFBL shared the following information with me and I thought it would be useful to share it here with folks.


We created a new technology called SPFBL, that is like DNSBL (DNS Blackhole List) but the SPFBL (SPF Blackhole List) receive IP, sender and HELO as parameters at a TCP connection. The SPFBL is a GPL software (documentation is currently available only in Portuguese): https://github.com/leonamp/SPFBL

If the message is complained by users, these parameters gain negative points at a reputation system. A lot of Brazilian providers uses this technology and we receive all reputation data from them: http://spfbl.net/en/colaboradores/

To promote this new technology, we provide a DNSBL service based in SPFBL network reputation. Our DNSBL accept IPv4, IPv6 and domains.

The delist process can be done at this tool: https://matrix.spfbl.net/en/

If listed by bad reputation, the sender must use our feedback system, that runs at SMTP layer: http://spfbl.net/en/feedback
