Schulte Blacklist: What Is It and How To Remove Yourself From It

What Is The Schulte Blacklist?

The Schulte Blacklist is a subnet-based blacklist that rejects emails from either single IP Addresses or entire ranges of IP Addresses.  The Schulte Blacklist looks for repeat offenders that send spam frequently.  The blacklist also looks into if the IP Address is legitimate or not.

How Do I Find Out If I Am On The Schulte Blacklist?

If you were alerted that you have landed on the Schulte Blacklist, there could be two possibilities:

• You attempted to send an email to a host that is managed and blocked by the Schulte Blacklist

Or

• You attempted to send an email to a host that uses the Schulte Blacklist blocking tool to block your email.  

In either case, your email will not be delivered.  You can check here if you think you’ve been added to the Schulte Blacklist.

How Can I Remove Myself From The Schulte Blacklist?

If you checked the link above and are in fact on the Schulte Blacklist, you’ll need to manually request to be taken off or delisted.  Follow these steps for removal:

1. You’ll need to draft an email to postmaster@schulte.org.  
2. Be sure to include your IP Address, the reason you’d like to be taken off the blacklist.  
3. Remember to be very clear and to the point when requesting to be delisted from a blacklist.

How do I reduce my risk of getting onto the Schulte Blacklist?

The best way to avoid getting listed on a blacklist is to engage in proper email practices such as...

• Verify all email addresses before attempting outreach
• Avoid sending unnecessary emails
• Avoid the use of spam words within your email drafts
• Keep your sending volume to a minimum (30-50 a day if your inbox has been warmed up with us for at least 30 days)
