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.
Project members with the support role or higher can read Blacklist Monitoring. The editor role or higher can enable monitoring and change 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. Use Popular for routine checks. Select Full when you need the broader set of lists.

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. These addresses receive digests for ungrouped resources and for groups with no recipients configured.
3

Save

Save. Updated recipients are used when a pending listing digest is sent. Digest dispatch runs hourly.
For per-group notification recipients, see Use groups.

Pause a resource

To pause checks, open IPs or Domains and choose Actions → Disable all. Use Enable all to resume checks for that resource type.

Next steps

Manage IPs

Add, check, and remove monitored IPs.

Manage domains

Add, check, and remove monitored domains.

Use groups

Organise IPs and domains for per-group check frequency and alerts.

Understand alerts

How alerts batch and when they fire.
