About SpamRats RATS-NoPtr
RATS-NoPtr is the simplest SpamRats listing: the IP has no PTR record. Many receivers reject mail from IPs with no reverse DNS, so this is worth fixing regardless.
Why an IP gets listed
- The sending IP has no reverse DNS (PTR) record.
How to delist from SpamRats RATS-NoPtr
- 1Create a PTR record for the IP — this is set by whoever controls the IP (your host/ISP), not in your normal DNS zone.
- 2Verify with a reverse-DNS lookup that the PTR now resolves.
- 3Delist via the SpamRats lookup page.
Before you request removal: fix the root cause first — delisting while the problem persists almost always leads to a fast re-listing. Confirm the IP has valid reverse DNS, and that your SPF, DKIM and DMARC are in order.
