Blacklist Monitoring lives under Tools in the project sidebar and uses credits from your organisation’s balance. The tool is read-and-write: you add resources, run checks, and configure groups; Spotzee handles the actual checking and alerting.
Why monitor blacklists
Email deliverability is reputation-sensitive. A single listing on a major RBL can drop a sender’s inbox placement to zero overnight, often without any obvious symptom from the sender’s side until campaigns start failing. The integration:- Watches IPs (IPv4) against major RBLs.
- Watches domains against domain-based blacklists.
- Schedules checks on each resource by group (daily or weekly).
- Sends digest alerts within an hour of a new listing being detected.
- Tracks history over a rolling 30-day window so you can see whether a listing was a one-off or an ongoing issue.

The Overview tab
The Overview is your at-a-glance health view. Four statistics sit at the top:
A 30-day history chart sits below the stats showing listing counts over time. Sustained spikes mean a recurring listing problem; isolated bumps usually mean a transient listing that cleared.
The four tabs
The Tool has four tabs:
For each, see the dedicated guide:
Credit usage
Blacklist checks consume platform credits from your organisation’s balance. Each check costs roughly the same regardless of resource type. Keep an eye on your credit balance under Billing to avoid alerts pausing because credits ran out. For more on credits, see Billing and credits.Next steps
