Blacklist

Generally, a blacklist is a list of unaccepted or forbidden items or persons. In the virtual world, it is a technique enabling acceptance of messages from all users not present on such a list.

There are two types of blacklist: Those created by users within their Antispam application, and professional, regularly updated blacklists which are created by specialized institutions and can be found on the internet.

It is essential to use blacklists to successfully block spam, but they are difficult to maintain, since new items to be blocked appear every day. We recommended you use both a whitelist and a blacklist to most effectively filter spam.
