Detailed explanation-1: -A blacklist is a real-time list that identifies IP addresses or domains that are known to send spam. They’re used by organizations like internet service providers (ISPs), free mailbox providers, and anti-spam vendors to prevent spam from coming into their systems.
Detailed explanation-2: -A URL blacklist is a list of unsafe URLs, IP addresses, or domain names that are removed from the search results by authorities. These authorities can be search engines like Google and Bing or antivirus service providers like McAfee SiteAdvisor and Norton Safe Web.
Detailed explanation-3: -When an IP address is blocked, all mail from the address bounces. Some domains use a denylist service to identify and block mail from suspected spammers. If enough users mark mail received from a particular IP address as spam, the service can block that address.
Detailed explanation-4: -The term blacklist refers to a list of people, organizations, or countries that are shunned or excluded by others because they are alleged to have engaged in unacceptable or unethical behavior or activities.
