Are you tired of dealing with floods of spam messages in your inbox as well?There is a handy tool for blocking spam messages right at the source that you might find useful for the task. Namely, Spamcop, one of the oldest DNSBLs (Domain Name System Blackhole Lists) services on the internet.Read on to learn how Spamcop deals with unwanted email messages – and what to do to make sure your domain won’t appear on their list.What is Spamcop?What is the Spamcop blacklist?The SpamCop Blocking List (SCBL) is an automatically updated list of IP addresses that were found to be sending spam messages. As soon as the service connects the reported domains to their IP addresses, the addresses are automatically added to the blacklist. Then, any incoming emails from those IP addresses are automatically rejected.Once the system adds a domain to its blacklist, the owner of the domain will then get a notification about being blocked for spamming, together with instructions on how they can get their domain off the blacklist. SpamCop will also send spam reports to ISP

What if your blacklist period is much longer than those 24 hours though?Then, unfortunately, getting your IP address unblocked will take some effort, as the service will keep you on the list as long as they get spam complaints on the IP.Fortunately, there are a few easy things you can do to avoid landing on SpamCop blacklists.Don’t buy email listsPurchasing email lists may seem like a quick and easy solution, especially since the sellers will claim that their lists are 100% verified and reliable. In reality, though, those lists are very often made of incorrect, inactive, scraped, or fake emails – and sending your emails to those can quickly land you on a blacklist.And even if there are genuine and active addresses on the lists, the owners never gave you their permission to mail them – so it’s highly likely they will mark your emails as spam.Use opt-in and get permission from recipients before sendingBuilding an email list through opt-ins will take more time, but the results you can expect will also be much better. People who agree to receive messages from you show you that they are interested in your brand, products, or services – and so they are more likely to purchase
