Frequently Asked Questions

A DNSBL (DNS-based Blackhole List) is a list of IP addresses or domains published via DNS that are known for sending spam, hosting malware, or engaging in other abusive activity.
You can enter an IPv4 or IPv6 address, a domain name, a fully qualified domain name (FQDN), or a full URL. The system will resolve the host automatically.
List rating ranges from 1 (low confidence) to 3 (high confidence). Setting a higher minimum rating filters out less reputable blocklists.
Host reputation checks perform real-time DNSBL lookups across multiple blocklists. Each list is queried individually, which can take up to 30 seconds for a complete check.
DNS records are cached for approximately 6 hours. Repeated checks within that window will return cached results for faster response.
