Dead DNS and RHS Blackhole Lists
The DNSBLs on this page are either confirmed dead or presumed dead - you should no longer be using them. Check the list of DNSBLs you have carefully against this list. Using a dead DNSBL can lead to unexpected consequences, such as the rejection of all incoming email.
