Most people don’t know why they can’t send emails many times and continue to receive bounce backs. Many timed the issue is what is called blacklisting. Blacklisting can be a horrible nightmare for someone especially that is on a shared server and is at the mercy of a Hosting company to assist in getting them removed. Things can get even worse when a person purchases a dedicated server that may have been previously used and blacklisted. below are some tips that might help with getting you back in the white in th email world.

Many ISP’s give their customers top priority for delisting a blacklist IP. Some such as SBC global can take many weeks to take care of this issue but if you are a customer will many times take care of the problem immediately which may be a quick solution rather than fighting to get unblacklisted. So you could signup for some type of service to have it taken care of faster then cancel once you are white listed.

Below are some of the simple ways you may try to get whitelisted for some of the larger companies out there.

• SBC Global - Send a message to one of their users and you will get a bounce back message telling you how to resolve the issue. Do exactly what the bounce back says and sometimes you can get delisted in a few days. Keep in mind you won’t ever get an email saying you have been removed from the blacklist so don’t give up.

• Earthlink and Netcom - Follow instructions from bounce back also. In this case you will receive a message back once you have been removed.

• Cox - This is a tough one. You may need to become a member to get off this one. Work with your hosting provider to bombard them until your wish is granted.

• At&T - Send an email to abuse_rbl@att.net or post a thread on the At&T forum to inquire about getting off blacklist.

• AOL - This can take a bit of effort but the best way to resolve this is to follow the guidelines set here at the Postmaster page. Another key to getting off blacklisting with AOL if this didn’t work would be to just contact them. You can find this info for all locations international here.

remember a great tool to use is mxtoolbox which can tell you info about your domain as well as blacklisting.
