Troubleshooting: SEM Fresh Blacklist

Why is my domain listed in SEM Fresh?

Newly registered domains may sometimes appear on the SEM Fresh blacklist (fresh.spameatingmonkey.net ) shortly after purchase, even if the domain has never been used for sending emails.

This is a common occurrence affecting many newly created .com domains across different providers and is not specific to QuickMail.

What is SEM Fresh?

SEM Fresh is a temporary blacklist managed by Spam Eating Monkey that tracks newly registered domains.

You can check the status of a domain here:

According to SEM Fresh, domains may remain listed for approximately 5 to 30 days before being automatically removed.

Does this impact deliverability?

In most cases, no.

Being listed on SEM Fresh does not necessarily affect:

• Overall domain reputation

• Inbox placement

• Domain warm-up capability

• Email sending performance

Many users are still able to successfully warm up and send emails from domains listed there.

Recommended action

• Continue warming up and using the domain normally

• No immediate action is typically required

• The listing should automatically expire over time

Additional notes

This type of listing is considered temporary and is commonly associated with newly purchased domains rather than spam activity.
