The JIPPG Technologies Relay Blackhole List Project Blacklist is a low-impact IP blocklist that aggregates its listings from a selection of other fast-responding blacklists to identify potentially problematic mail servers.
The JIPPG Technologies Relay Blackhole List Project Blacklist (mail-abuse.blacklist.jippg.org) is an IP-based DNS blocklist. It is unique because it also functions as a composite list, aggregating results from other DNSBLs. The operators state that their selection of these other lists is based on their response speed from JIPPG's servers.
A key aspect of this blacklist is its operational policy, or lack thereof. The maintainers explicitly state, "There is no firm policy for making it public, so if we receive any complaints, we will immediately stop it." This suggests a more reactive than proactive approach to its management. They also provide a significant disclaimer that the data within the blacklist (blocklist) may not be correct and that anyone using the list does so at their own risk.
This blocklist is run by an organization named JIPPG Technologies. According to their website, which shows a copyright from 1998-2004, their mission is to search "for a top-class network environment to create a new culture through the Internet and deliver our gifts to all of you on this planet Earth." They list Tokyo, Osaka, Nara, Yonago, and Riga as locations.
The delisting process for this blacklist is manual and requires direct contact. There is no automated or self-service removal portal.
To request removal from this blacklist, you must send an email to the operators. JIPPG provides the following instruction: "If you wish to remove yourself from the BlackList in JIPPG.ORG, please contact relaycheck@jippg.org." No other specific guidelines or prerequisites for delisting are provided, so you should ensure your email clearly states your IP address and your request for removal.
The impact of being listed on the JIPPG Technologies Relay Blackhole List Project Blacklist is considered low. This is primarily due to the provider's own disclaimers about the potential inaccuracy of its data and its recommendation to use it with caution. System administrators are less likely to use a blocklist that comes with such warnings, which limits its adoption and overall impact on email deliverability.
JIPPG itself suggests that being listed may not be a major concern unless the IP is flagged by multiple sources within its composite list. This further reduces the severity of a single listing on this specific blacklist.
