Sparkle’s Blacklist Monitor helps you protect your sender reputation by continuously checking whether your domain or IP appears on any email blacklists. If your sending domain or IP gets blacklisted, your emails may start landing in spam—or worse, get blocked entirely.

Blacklist Monitor detects issues early and alerts you in real time so you can take fast action and maintain strong deliverability.

Step 1: Add an IP or Domain

Go to Blacklist Monitor in Sparkle and click Add Blacklist Monitoring.

In the IP/Domain field:

• Enter a single IP or domain or paste multiple IPs/domains in bulk (each on a new line)

• Domain (e.g., example.com – This format is only allowed)

• IP address (e.g., 192.168.1.1 – This format is only allowed)

Step 2: Enter IP/Domain Details and (Optional) Set Recurring Monitoring

IP/Domain: Enter your IP address or domain. You can also paste multiple entries in bulk (one per line).

Group Name: Add a group name to organize your blacklist monitors (optional).

Enable Recurring Monitoring: This is optional. If enabled, Sparkle will automatically monitor blacklist status at regular intervals.

Monitoring Frequency: Once "Enable Recurring Monitoring" is selected, choose how often Sparkle should run checks:

• Every day

• Every 3 days

• Every 7 days

• Every 30 days
  ​

Step 3: Configure Alerts (Optional but Recommended)

You can enable alerts for real-time notifications.

• Select action group: Choose which team or user group should receive blacklist alerts.

• Select alerts to receive:

  • Domain or IP appears on blacklists

• Customized message (optional): Add context to alerts so your team knows how to respond.

Step 4: Start Monitoring

Click Start Test to begin monitoring or click Cancel to discard changes.

Step 5: View Results and Status

Once monitoring begins, you’ll see each monitored IP/domain in your dashboard along with:

• Blacklist Status – Shows if you're listed or clean

• Last Checked – Timestamp of last blacklist sca

• Monitoring Type – One-time or recurring

• Status – In progress / Active / Completed

Pro Tips for Using Blacklist Monitor

• Set recurring checks for all sender domains and IPs to catch blacklist issues early.

• Use action groups wisely—assign alerts to deliverability or IT teams for faster response.

• Act fast if blacklisted—appearing on a blacklist impacts reputation and campaign results.

• New domains—warm-up domains especially need close monitoring.

• Use bulk monitoring—paste multiple domains/IPs to stay organized at scale.
