What is Mailspike?
Mailspike publishes bl.mailspike.net (the blocklist), z.mailspike.net (a combined zone) and rep.mailspike.net, which returns a reputation band rather than a yes or no. Its data comes from AnubisNetworks' filtering footprint, so it reflects what those gateways saw from your IP: spam, malware attachments, phishing links.
Queries are free up to 100,000 a day, which is why smaller providers include it. Delisting is self-service on the IP-verify tool and, per the operator, takes six to thirty-six hours to propagate.
How serious is a Mailspike listing?
Standard: a smaller footprint, used mainly as a scoring signal by some receivers. Fix the cause it points at; weigh the listing itself calmly. The lookup at mailspike.io/ip_verify is the reference for whether you are listed today.
Why your IP got listed
What the operator lists: Compromised accounts/hosts sending spam, malware, phishing.
How to remove your IP from Mailspike
- 1
Look the IP up at mailspike.io/ip_verify
The operator's own lookup shows whether the IP is listed and, where the list publishes reasons, why. Third-party checkers can lag or misread the zone.
- 2
Fix the cause before you ask
Compromised accounts/hosts sending spam, malware, phishing. A removal request while the cause is live is the fastest route to a repeat listing, and repeat listings are slower to clear.
- 3
Request removal at mailspike.io/ip_verify
Self-service delist on the IP-verify tool. Cost: free (≤100k queries/day).
- 4
Verify and watch for a return
Typical turnaround: 6–36 hours. Re-run the live check after that window; a listing that comes back means the source is still active.
