IPrange Blacklist: What Is It and How To Remove Yourself From It?

What Is The IPrange Blacklist?

The IPrange Blacklist is a realtime blacklist that was created in the Netherlands.  The IPrange Blacklist aims to stop spammers who send, host, or organize unsolicited bulk email (UBE).

How Does The IPrange Blacklist Work?

The IPrange Blacklist has spam traps in place in attempts to block the spam that is distributed on the Internet.  The spam traps will block single IP Addresses or entire ranges that are responsible for sending, hosting, or organizing spam messages.  IP Addresses or entire ranges can get caught in the spamtraps if their email addresses are infected with viruses, there’s an Open Relay, or if they are sending mass emails and neglecting to follow the CAN-SPAM Act of 2003.
