Request Delisting

1. Review if the server is sending spam
2. Confirm the IP is blacklisted by Earthlink
3. If blacklisted
   
   1. Begin a malware scan on the server
      NOTE: The scan must complete first to confirm there are no hacks or malware. If hacks are present, they must be resolved with a security professional first before proceeding to a delisting request.
   2. If the scan comes back clean, request delisting
      ADVISE: It can take up to 48 hours for Earthlink to review and delist their mail IP. Earthlink will send a follow-up email within 24-48 hours confirming the IP has been removed from their blocklist.
4. If not blacklisted
   
   1. Set up a hostname and PTR Record
      IMPORTANT: Setting a Hostname will require the assistance of support. If you'd like to set up a hostname and PTR, please contact support for assistance.
