Source for blacklist

    Hi,

    I receive the notification “Your IP appears in one or more spam blacklists you may want to talk to your host to resolve your IP reputation”.

    Where is this being measured? I checked several blacklist tools and our IP is not appearing on any of these lists.

    I find this quite a serious statement, so I hope you can share how this is being measured.

    With thanks,
    Demian

    Hi, this plugin uses spamhaus zen https://www.spamhaus.org/zen/ for the check.

    What tools did you use to check?

    Thank you for sharing. I checked it, and our IP gives no issues via spamhaus.

    Really, and the plugin is still saying it has?

    Is the IP the plugin detecting the correct one?

    You can share your IP however whilst there is not real danger beware this is public.

    That IP is not showing via as blacklisted via the test code I have for zen sbl – which is the same as the code in the plugin.

    Can you screen shot the settings page that shows this for me to see any further clues – you can use any reputable image sharing here as a link

    Ok, I need to look harder ??

    OK, so running your IP through the code on my test machines doesn’t result in a blacklist.

    So it is definitely something environmental.

    What version PHP are you on?

    Also would you be open to me providing a snippet of test code you could install as a shortcode to get some debug info?

    Hi Alan,

    Yes, no problem. Current php version is 7.4. I am able to upgrade to 8.1, if needed.

    Okay, I receive this:

    gethostbyname() returned 46.21.171.230 in blacklist check of 32.42.247.37.zen.spamhaus.org - this means that Spamhaus ZEN has listed this IP in a Blacklist

    OK that is strange as it is return a different IP.

    What was the rest of the display you didn’t include?

    What host are you on? Is it behind some sort of reverse proxy?

    Can you get to command line on your server? If so what do you get when you run

    dig +short 32.42.247.37.zen.spamhaus.org

    Hi Allan,

    This 46. IP is from the Host. So I think it is a reversed IP check. I have forwarded this information to the host. Wondering what they will say.

    Is it not an idea to add this shortcode function into the plugin? Quite good tool.
