Spam Eating Monkey SEM-FRESHZERO is a domain-based blocklist (or blacklist) for domains that Spam Eating Monkey has not seen before or has only seen very recently, usually within a 24-hour freshness window. It is used as a URIBL because it checks domains found in message content, such as URLs, instead of checking the sending IP address.
The list is meant to help mail server administrators apply a small spam score to emails that contain brand new domains. New domains are common in phishing and spam campaigns, but a SEM-FRESHZERO listing does not prove that a domain is malicious. It should be one signal in a wider filtering system, not a standalone reason to reject mail.
- Policy: lists domains that are new or newly observed by Spam Eating Monkey, usually for the first 24 hours.
- Listing type: URIBL domain blacklist.
- Query zone: freshzero.spameatingmonkey.net.
- Positive response: 127.0.0.2.
Who runs Spam Eating Monkey SEM-FRESHZERO?
The SEM-FRESHZERO blocklist is operated by SpamEatingMonkey.com. Spam Eating Monkey publishes real-time IP and URI reputation data that mail administrators can use when filtering unwanted email.
Spam Eating Monkey makes a clear distinction that it is not the party blocking your mail. It provides reputation data, and the administrator of the recipient's mail server chooses how to use that data. For SEM-FRESHZERO, the safer use is message scoring rather than outright blocking.
How should mail servers use SEM-FRESHZERO?
SEM-FRESHZERO works best as a low-weight URI freshness rule. A mail filter can extract domains from links in a message, query freshzero.spameatingmonkey.net, and add a small score when the response is 127.0.0.2.
- Use it for scoring, not as a hard reject rule.
- Apply it to domains found in message URLs, not the sending IP address.
- Keep the score low because new domains include legitimate launches, migrations, and transactional systems.
- Combine it with authentication results, sender reputation, message content, and user complaint patterns.
If a message fails SPF, DKIM, or DMARC and also contains a newly observed domain, the combined signal is more meaningful than the SEM-FRESHZERO result alone.
How do I get removed from Spam Eating Monkey SEM-FRESHZERO?
Removal from the Spam Eating Monkey SEM-FRESHZERO blacklist is automatic. There is no normal manual delisting process for this specific freshness list.
If your domain is newly registered or newly observed, expect the listing to clear after the 24-hour freshness window passes and the zone data updates. Do not treat SEM-FRESHZERO as a sign that the domain has been permanently blocklisted or blacklisted.
What is the impact of a SEM-FRESHZERO listing?
The impact of being listed on Spam Eating Monkey SEM-FRESHZERO is usually low. The listing is temporary, and most filtering systems use it as a small negative score rather than a direct block.
A listing can still contribute to spam-folder placement when it appears alongside other weak signals, such as failed authentication, suspicious message content, poor sender reputation, or a new sending pattern. For a legitimate new domain, the practical fix is to keep authentication correct, avoid risky content patterns, and wait for the freshness listing to expire.
