Abusix flagged my website — how removal works

CATALOG ENTRY VERIFIED 2026-09-21

// ANSWER

Abusix is a DNS-based blocklist that mail servers query before accepting a message. A listing affects email delivery from the domain, not browsing. It accepts website false-positive reports by email request. unflagdomain sends that request for you as part of a €39 dispatch; Abusix reviews the site itself and decides on its own schedule.

What Abusix is

Abusix Mail Intelligence is a set of mail blocklists (IP and domain) used by email providers. Listings affect deliverability and are removed through Abusix's lookup and delist tools.

What a Abusix flag looks like

Bounced or spam-foldered email from the domain, with a rejection line naming this list. Browsing the site is unaffected.

Why clean sites end up flagged here

  • Spam or phishing was sent from the domain or from a server that hosts it, often through a compromised account or form.
  • The domain appeared in spam links (a URL blocklist), even if it never sent mail.
  • A shared hosting or mail server neighbour was the actual sender.

How a removal request reaches Abusix

This vendor accepts a website false-positive report by email at an address it publishes in its own documentation. The message must be plain text, come from an address at the affected domain or a contact the vendor can verify, and state the URL, what was found, what was removed and when.

The general procedure — clean, verify from outside, one specific request, wait for the re-check — is in the complete removal guide, with the checklist of what every request must contain.

What unflagdomain does for this vendor

When a scan shows this vendor flagging your domain, a separately written plain-text request goes out to it in the dispatch, with your address as Reply-To, so the vendor's answer lands in your inbox. If the address bounces, another working contact is looked for and the request re-sent.

This is one of 133 vendors in the catalog. A scan shows which of them flag a domain right now; the €39 dispatch covers every one that does.
