Blacklist recovery

Collection Mailbox & DeliverabilityReading time 3 minUpdated Jul 2026
TL;DR

Blocklist hits show on the deliverability dashboard with the specific list and evidence. Recovery: stop the cause, request delisting, rebuild engagement at reduced volume. Most major-list delistings complete within days once the cause is fixed.

Detection

turgo monitors the major blocklists (Spamhaus, Barracuda, SORBS and others) per sending IP and domain. A hit triggers an alert, automatic throttling, and a recovery checklist.

Fix the cause first

Delisting without fixing the cause leads to relisting with worse standing. Common causes: bad list source (bounces), complaint spike (targeting), compromised mailbox (unusual sending). The dashboard evidence points at which.

Request delisting

Each list has its own process — the checklist links the right form per list with guidance on what to say. Spamhaus and Barracuda typically process legitimate requests in 24–72 hours.

Rebuild

Post-delisting: resume at ~30% volume weighted to your most-engaged segments, run placement tests every 2–3 days, and ramp back over two weeks as placement confirms recovery.
