BLOCKEDSERVERS Torexit Blocklist
The BLOCKEDSERVERS Torexit blacklist (blocklist) identifies Tor exit node IPs, enabling admins to reject or flag anonymous mail traffic at their servers.
Updated on 17 Jun 2026: We updated this guide to clarify Torexit DNSBL lookups, delisting steps, and the practical impact of a Tor exit-node listing.

The BLOCKEDSERVERS Torexit blocklist is a DNS-based blacklist (DNSBL) for IP addresses identified as Tor exit nodes. Tor routes traffic through relays, and an exit node is the relay that connects to the public internet destination.
Its policy is narrow: an IP address is listed when it is acting as a Tor exit node. Admins use this blacklist (blocklist) to reject, flag, rate-limit, or add extra checks to traffic from anonymous network exits. A listing does not prove spam by itself; it says the connection source matches Tor exit-node data. This is an IP-based blocklist, not a domain-name list.
Who runs BLOCKEDSERVERS Torexit blocklist?
BLOCKEDSERVERS operates the blacklist and publishes public RBL examples and service status on its website. The status page lists separate zones for the combined RBL, NetScan, Spam, and Torexit services, including torexit.rbl.blockedservers.com for Tor exit checks.
Because the public documentation focuses on lookup examples rather than a detailed operator profile, treat this as an infrastructure list with a narrow technical purpose: matching IPs against Tor exit-node data.
- Use torexit.rbl.blockedservers.com when you only want Tor exit-node listings.
- Use the combined rbl.blockedservers.com zone only when your policy accounts for spam, NetScan, and Torexit categories together.
- Confirm query behavior in your mail gateway before enforcing hard rejects, because Tor exit data changes and the list has a narrow scope.
- Keep blocklist decisions separate from SPF, DKIM, and DMARC results; they answer different questions.
How to check whether an IP is listed
DNSBL checks use inverse IPv4 notation. Reverse the octets, append the Torexit zone, and query DNS. For example, 192.0.2.123 becomes 123.2.0.192.torexit.rbl.blockedservers.com.
Example DNS lookupBASH
dig +short 123.2.0.192.torexit.rbl.blockedservers.com A
An A record answer indicates a listing. An empty answer means the DNSBL did not return a listing for that query, assuming the DNS query succeeded. For mail-server enforcement, add the Torexit zone only where policy intends to treat Tor exits differently.
How do I get removed and delisted from BLOCKEDSERVERS Torexit blocklist?
If your IP address appears on this blocklist, first confirm whether it is operating as a Tor exit relay. The right fix is to stop the exit relay or move mail traffic to an IP address that does not run a Tor exit service.
After the IP is no longer a Tor exit node, re-check the Torexit DNSBL. Dynamic Tor-exit lists remove addresses after their source data refreshes, but the exact timing depends on the list operator. If the IP still appears, look up the IP on BLOCKEDSERVERS and follow the removal or contact option shown for that listing.
What is the impact of being listed?
The impact is low for most email senders because this is a specialized blacklist (blocklist), not a broad spam reputation list. It affects systems that explicitly query BLOCKEDSERVERS Torexit or the combined BLOCKEDSERVERS RBL as part of their inbound filtering.
A listing can still matter if a receiving server uses it for SMTP connection checks. The result can be a rejected connection, a higher spam score, throttling, or extra verification. If your mail IP is not a Tor exit node, treat the listing as a false positive and pursue delisting; if it is a Tor exit node, separate mail sending from Tor exit traffic before expecting stable delivery.
Do not treat one Torexit listing as the root cause of all delivery issues. Review SMTP errors, authentication results, and any other blocklist or blacklist evidence before changing mail infrastructure.
