- Someone reported your address as a webspammer

We used to snapshot the that rendered the blacklist reason. However, as of 25th may 2018, when the data protection law changed the history of personal integrity, we no longer store this kind of content. It might sound strange that we do not store spam that works like a proof for why e-mail has been blacklisted. It also normally helps system administrators (especially those who administers email services) to trace the source of spam. But to protect the receivers part data, the mail spam storage project has been abandoned. |

Primary data collecting is being made from e-mail honeypots, webscraping, TOR network lists, reporting sites like StopForumSpam.com, etc.
I'm still listed even if I've sent a delist request [Rendered zone files]
The zone file for tornevall.org are re-rendered once per hour, but the default TTL for each host in all zones we are hosting are only five minutes, so if your host is uncached in a global DNS it will disappear in only a few minutes after the render. We used to say that removal may take up to 24-48 hours, since updating world DNSes may take different amount of time depending on how low hostnames are cached.
If you're using the API instead of the DNS request, the answer if you're listed will be instant - however, this does not mean DNS data is synchronized yet.
With a short description, after the removal has been confirmed your host should disappear from the master DNS within an hour.
