What is Spam Eating Monkey SEM-FRESH?
SEM-FRESH is a list from Spam Eating Monkey that contains domains registered in the last few days. Spammers often use brand new domains, so some filters add points to mail that contains a freshly registered domain. A listing says nothing about your behaviour.
Why domains get listed on Spam Eating Monkey SEM-FRESH
- Your domain was registered only a few days ago
- Your domain was recently re-registered after expiring
- Registration data was updated in a way that looks like a new registration
What a listing means for your email
For a short time, email that contains your new domain may get extra spam points.
How to get delisted from Spam Eating Monkey SEM-FRESH
Confirm it is a FRESH listing
Check your domain on the Spam Eating Monkey website to confirm the listing is on the FRESH list and not on SEM-URIRED or another list.
Wait for the domain to age
FRESH listings expire automatically once the domain is older than the list window. There is no removal request for this list.
Warm up sending slowly
Avoid bulk sending from a brand new domain. Set up SPF, DKIM and DMARC and start with low volumes to known contacts.
