Understanding UCEProtect Blacklist Alerts
**Frequently Asked Questions ❓**
**What is UCEProtect?**
It’s a spam-blocking list that flags IP addresses suspected of sending unwanted emails. Sometimes it blocks entire groups of addresses, not just individual ones.
**⚠️Should I worry if my IP is on UCEProtect?**
Usually, no. Many big email services don’t even use UCEProtect because it often blocks innocent users by mistake.
**Can being on UCEProtect stop my emails from going through?**
It’s unlikely to be the main reason emails are blocked, since most providers ignore this list. But it’s good to check if there are other issues.
**How do I get removed from UCEProtect?**
It can be difficult and confusing. The best step is to ensure your network is secure and not sending spam.
**What if I’m unsure about what to do?**
Contact your IT support or email service provider for help investigating and fixing any real issues.
**Quick Checklist ✅**
* ♂️Don’t panic. A UCEProtect listing alone usually isn’t critical.
* ️Check your devices. Make sure your computers and email servers aren’t infected or sending spam.
* Review other blacklists. Check if you’re listed on more trusted blacklists (like Spamhaus or SORBS).
* ✔️Confirm email setup. Verify your email has proper authentication (SPF, DKIM, DMARC).
* Contact your IT provider. Let your support team investigate and help resolve any problems.
* Monitor regularly. Keep an eye on your email reputation and blacklist status over time.
