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 depends in part on sender reputation. A blacklist listing can affect delivery, so check which list reported it and investigate the cause before requesting removal. 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 emails on the hourly dispatch for blacklisted check results.
- Shows a 30-day history chart so you can review listing patterns. Stored check records have a separate retention period.
