SpamRATS

Subscriptions

SpamRATS first became a public RBL back in 2007, and we never expected how successful it would become. Since then, we have spent countless man hours, time, and money to develop this reputation list and its data and distribution. For more detailed information of the Free Use Conditions, please refer to our Terms of Service.

Please remember that you will NOT be able to use public DNS servers to query our data. You will need your own DNS servers in place that clearly identifies who is making the query before we can allow you access to the SpamRATS DNSBL Public Mirrors.
