Overview
The Spam and Open Relay Blocking System (SORBS) HTTP blocklist is a list of open Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) proxy servers.
- Listings occur at the IP level.
- The impact on deliverability is low.
Reasons for getting listed
IPs are blocklisted for HTTP servers with open proxies.
How to get off this blocklist
This blocklist accepts manual requests to remove IP addresses. First you need to register for an account with SORBS. Then you can look up IP addresses and netblocks in the SORBS database and open support tickets.
If you are eligible, you can manage your own networks and listings, and even remove your own IP addresses.
Tips for staying off this list
- Make sure servers are properly configured and have no open proxies
