Domain DNSBL

The Domain DNSBL tool helps you monitor whether your domain has been blocked by any major DNS-based Block Lists (RBLs). In addition to blocklist monitoring, the tool also checks your rDNS record, SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records to ensure your domain's authentication is secure and up-to-date. This guide will walk you through adding domains, configuring settings, and monitoring results.

Adding Domains for DNSBL Monitoring

  1. Go to Settings → Add Domain’s

  2. There are 2 options available:

    1. Add domains individually. For each domain, you can optionally verify DKIM by adding the corresponding selectors. To do this, click “Add Selector” beneath the input field. You can add as many selectors as needed for each domain.
