The list of RBLs we monitor at any one time can vary, as RBLs come and go on a regular basis. Our base list of RBLs are chosen for their reliability, and their overall confidence in the community. That being said, just because we don’t include an RBL on our default list, doesn’t mean you […]

What are URIBLs
URIBLs (URI Black Lists) are similar to RBLs, except rather than tracking IP addresses, they track domain names, or URIs (website addresses), that are often used for spamming, phishing, or malware. If your outbound emails are inadvertently flagged as SPAM, then any website URL listed in the email could be added to a URIBL, and […]
What are RBLs
Real-time Black Lists (also called Real-time Blackhole lists, or DNS-based Blackhole Lists), are lists of IP addresses, published through DNS, often of computers or networks linked to spamming or malware. Many corporate mail servers are configured to reject or flag messages which have been sent from IP addresses listed on one of these RBLs. Most […]
RBL vs URIBL
Real-Time Blackhole Lists (RBL) are a simple but effective way for organizations around the world, to share the location (in this case, the IP addresses) of email systems that are reputed to send email SPAM. URIBL’s are exactly the same idea, the only difference is that rather than listing IP addresses, they list domain name […]
Adding a Custom RBL
The custom RBL feature lets you add custom RBLs and URIBLs to your account, that RBLTracker does not normally monitor. If you have a paid or in-house RBL that you’d like to use, you can add it here and centralize your monitoring with RBLTracker, and take advantage of our automated checks and alerting functionality. You […]
What are RBL Profiles?
RBL Profiles let you select the individual RBLs you’d like RBLTracker to monitor when checking your hosts. You can select from RBLs, URIBLs, Safebrowsing Databases, and Facebook Threat Exchange lists. You can create as many RBL Profiles as you like, and can be individually assigned to hosts, giving you the ability to customize exactly which […]
Configuring RBL Profiles
RBL Profiles can be configured via the Manage -> RBL Profiles section of the portal. When you click the “Add New Profile” button, you will be presented with an overlay with all the lists RBLTracker currently supports, which you can easily turn on or off. Custom RBLs added via the Manage -> Custom RBLs section […]
What are Hosts?
A “Host” is either an IP address or a domain that you’d like to enable monitoring on. RBLTracker will check your IP addresses against our list of RBLs, and your domains, against our list of URIBLs and Safe Browsing databases. Both IP addresses and domains will be checked against the Facebook Threat Exchange Data. It’s […]
