ClickMagick’s generic tracking domains are approved by most “big” sites like Google and Facebook.

But occasionally clkmg.com or clkmr.com will temporarily end up on one of the various anti-spam blocklists because one of our users sent “spam” …

… or because the blocklist maintainer made a mistake (known as a “false positive”), which is also common.

We monitor all the major blocklists, and any time a domain is blocklisted, we can usually take care of it within hours, so this should never really be a problem.

If one of our generic domains IS indeed blocklisted and it’s preventing you from doing something or causing you a problem, wait a few hours, and the problem will usually be resolved. If not, contact us for an update.

The easiest way to avoid being affected in the rare time when one of our domains is temporarily blocklisted is to use your custom tracking domain. There are several great benefits of using a custom domain, and it’s really easy to set one up, so it’s well worth doing. You can read all about it in this article:

A Note About URIBL

URIBL is a real-time URI blocklist, which means it’s fully automated. And it has TONS of “false positives” because they don’t verify whether an email is genuinely spam.

This is the only blocklist that our domains are regularly listed on, and there’s nothing we can do about it because their “service” is flat-out faulty.

Unfortunately, some websites and services integrate it into their systems without knowing how URIBL works – and how inaccurate it is.

Wait 2-12 hours; the problem will disappear when the URIBL listing expires automatically.

If you use a service that monitors URIBL listings, which is frequently a problem, the solution is to set up a custom tracking domain.
