🚫 Abuseat DBL
What an abuseat DBL listing means, why lookups now go through Spamhaus, and how removal works.

⚠️ Defunct since 2024
This blocklist shut down in 2024. The zone no longer lists anything and no mail server still queries it, so a historical listing has no effect on delivery. The page stays here for reference.
ℹ️ About This Blocklist
The domain-side companion to the abuseat CBL. abuseat no longer runs independently: it was folded into Spamhaus, and dbl.abuseat.org answers nothing today. Domain reputation is handled by the Spamhaus DBL instead. The blacklist checker stopped querying this zone in 2026 — a dead zone answers NXDOMAIN, which is indistinguishable from a clean result.
What a Listing Means
Nothing is listed here any more. Use the Spamhaus DBL for domain reputation.
🔢 DNSBL Return Codes
When listed, the DNSBL returns one of these 127.x.x.x addresses. The specific code indicates the reason for the listing.
| Return IP | Meaning |

| 127.0.0.2 | Listed in Abuseat DBL (zone now defunct) |
ℹ️ Delisting
Nothing to do here. If a domain has a reputation problem, look it up in the Spamhaus Blocklist Removal Center, fix the underlying cause (clean the compromised site, take down the phishing kit), then file the removal request against the DBL.
