First time using the Tool? You’ll see a setup screen instead of the Overview. Enabling monitoring is a one-click action; the rest of this guide walks through the Settings tab where you configure RBL types and default notifications.
Blacklist Monitoring requires the project editor role to read and admin to configure settings.

​
Enable monitoring

1

Open the Tool

Inside the project, open Tools → Blacklist Monitoring. You’ll see the setup screen with an Enable monitoring action.
2

Enable

Choose Enable monitoring. Spotzee creates a system API key automatically (used by the Tool to schedule and run checks). The page refreshes and the Overview tab loads.
The integration is now ready. You can start adding IPs and domains, or visit the Settings tab to tune RBL types and notifications first.

​
RBL settings

The Settings tab controls which blacklists are checked. Two settings: IP RBL type and domain RBL type.

​
IP RBL type

Pick how thorough the IP checks should be. Most senders are well-served by Standard. Pick Comprehensive when you’re investigating a deliverability problem that the standard set isn’t surfacing, or when you have a regulatory obligation to track exhaustively.

​
Domain RBL type

Same shape, different lists. Domain-based blacklists (DBLs) target the sender domain rather than the IP. Pick:

​
Default notification emails

The Settings tab has a default notification list that applies to ungrouped resources. When a resource not assigned to a group gets blacklisted, the default list receives the alert.
1

Open Settings

In the Tool, pick the Settings tab.
2

Add default recipients

Add up to 10 email addresses in the default notifications field. Each address receives every alert for ungrouped resources.
3

Save

Save. Changes apply on the next alert dispatch (within an hour).
For per-group notification recipients, see Use groups.

​
Disable monitoring

You can disable monitoring at any time from the Settings tab. Disabling stops scheduled checks for every resource, but doesn’t delete your IPs, domains, or groups. Re-enable to resume; the same resources are still configured. To re-enable later, see Re-enable monitoring.
