What is Spam Eating Monkey SEM-FRESH15?
The Spam Eating Monkey SEM-FRESH15 is a domain-based blocklist (blacklist) that lists domains first registered within the last 15 days. It is used like a URIBL or RHSBL, so mail filters check domain names found in email content instead of the sender's IP address. The list covers .BIZ, .COM, .INFO, .NAME, .NET, and .US domains, so domains outside those TLDs are not the normal focus of this specific list.
Technically, when a system checks a domain against this blacklist, it queries the zone fresh15.spameatingmonkey.net. A positive match returns 127.0.0.2. Administrators should treat the result as one signal in local filtering rules, not as a standalone reason to reject mail.
How to check Spam Eating Monkey SEM-FRESH15
To check a domain, append the domain to the SEM-FRESH15 lookup zone and query for an A record. A 127.0.0.2 answer means the domain is listed. No answer means the domain is not listed at that moment.
DNS lookup formatBASH
dig +short example.com.fresh15.spameatingmonkey.net A # 127.0.0.2 means the queried domain is listed.
Check the exact domain seen in the message body. For example, a tracking or redirect domain can trigger the blacklist even when the visible From domain has aged out.
Who runs Spam Eating Monkey SEM-FRESH15?
The SEM-FRESH15 blacklist is operated by SpamEatingMonkey.com. Spam Eating Monkey provides real-time IP and domain reputation data used by mail administrators to filter unwanted mail. The service does not block mail directly; the recipient's mail server decides how to score, quarantine, reject, or accept a message.
Spam Eating Monkey states that its data is provided "as is" and should be used in scoring systems rather than for outright blocking of messages.
How do I get removed and delisted from Spam Eating Monkey SEM-FRESH15?
Removal from the Spam Eating Monkey SEM-FRESH15 blocklist is automatic. Since the listing policy includes domains registered within the last 15 days, the practical fix is to wait for the age window to pass and for DNS data to refresh. Manual delisting requests are ignored for this list, so there is no form or escalation path that removes a domain earlier.
During the waiting period, review the domains used in message links, images, tracking, and redirects. A brand-new sending domain is not the only domain that matters; a new URL domain in the email body can trigger a URI blacklist result.
What's the impact of being listed on Spam Eating Monkey SEM-FRESH15?
The impact of being listed on the Spam Eating Monkey SEM-FRESH15 blacklist is usually low when the rest of the message is clean. The list is designed to flag domain age, not proven abuse. It still matters because new domains are common in phishing and throwaway spam campaigns, so some filters add scrutiny when a message contains a listed domain.
- The listing expires automatically after the 15-day registration-age window.
- Many mail filters use SEM-FRESH15 as a score input rather than an outright blocklist decision.
- A listing affects domains found in email content, including tracking, redirect, and landing-page domains.
- Delivery problems become more serious when the same message also fails SPF, DKIM, or DMARC checks, has poor engagement, or contains suspicious URLs.
Use Suped to confirm that DMARC, SPF, and DKIM pass and match the visible sending domain before treating a SEM-FRESH15 result as the main cause of a deliverability problem. This separates a temporary blacklist signal from an authentication problem that needs a DNS or sending platform fix.
