How do blacklists work? Pages that link to <a href="https://ozoneasylum.com/backlink?for=21829" title="Pages that link to How do blacklists work?" rel="nofollow" >How do blacklists work?\

- Most of the time, automatically. Some spam control software, on an isp mail server,
will react after a certain amount of mail, in a certain time period, is sent.
This will contact a blacklist server, and submit the sender to blacklisting.
Blacklists are generally based on ips, can be a local pc ip, or a mail sender server ip (smtp).

Once you are on the blacklist, you'll have to contact your isp, or at least your mail service provider,
for a proper removal and instructions.

Incoming mail servers filter content based on blacklist, it isn't rare to see a whole domain
blacklisted by another isp.
For instance, hispeed.ch adresses were blacklisted on aol.com for a long time: aol refused mails
from the hispeed domain for several weeks.
