Backscatterer (SpamEatingMonkey)
The Backscatterer list identifies IP addresses that send backscatter — bounce messages for emails that were never actually sent from the supposed sender. This happens when a server accepts spam and then sends bounces to forged sender addresses.
Tier

Impact

What it lists
Mail servers that generate backscatter (bounces for forged-sender spam).
How to get delisted
- 01Check your IP at spameatingmonkey.com/lookup
- 02Configure your mail server to reject invalid recipients during the SMTP transaction (before accepting the message)
- 03Do NOT accept-then-bounce — this generates backscatter
- 04Enable recipient verification or callout in your MTA
- 05Request removal after fixing your server configuration
