URIBL Greylisting


This article applies to:

How do links on the URIBL Greylist affect email delivery?

  • URIBL maintains three types of lists: white, grey and black. URIBL "blacklistings" have the most impact because it is enabled by default among email administrators. "Greylistings", on the other hand, are not enabled by default and have a minimal impact against senders. The domain, "infusionsoft.com" is currently greylisted on URIBL as are most prominent bulk email senders.
  • We ask that you please do not submit requests to de-list the infusionsoft.com domain from URIBL; the current greylisted status is normal.

SpamAssassin relies on a third-party service, URIBL, to determine the reputation of hyperlinks within an email message. URIBL is a domain-based reputation list and is independently operated.

If a hyperlink in an email is listed on the URIBL greylist, it will have minimal impact on deliverability. However, some smaller ISPs and ESPs that have enabled URIBL greylist blocking will impact the delivery of your email.
