Blacklist Statistics Center

Welcome to the DNSBL Resource Blacklist Statistics Center. As of October 2007, now tracking 50+ blacklists!

For week-by-week success and failure data for a specific blacklist, select a blacklist from the list below.

Blacklists with data available for public display:

Each blacklist detail page contains thirteen weeks worth of data, graphically represented. Each green bar represents the weekly average percentage of spam that would be blocked by use of that list. Each red bar represents the weekly average percentage of ham (non-spam) that would be blocked by use of that list. The spam and ham buckets are unique; therefore it is possible to have both a high accuracy rate against spam and a high false positive rate against non-spam.

For every 10% of accuracy, ten out of one hundred spams were successfully blocked by a given list. For every 5% of inaccuracy, one out of every twenty desired emails was blocked by a given list.
