Listed on a source we show but do not score

InfoConfirmedemail.blocklists.advisory-listing

What this check looks for

One of your mail server addresses appears on ‹list name›. We show this because it is real, but it does not affect your score — this list often lists whole network ranges because of a neighbour's behaviour.

Why it matters

Some receivers do consult this list, so a listing is worth knowing about. But its listing policy makes it a poor measure of your own configuration, and letting it cap your grade would tell you something untrue about your domain.

What it costs your score

This check never deducts. It reports a fact — or reports that something could not be verified — and is shown on the report without moving the score.
