Query on possible incorrect toxic domain classification

I would like to know why salemkeizer.org and zoho.in is marked as a disposable domain when I download the toxic domains list ?

Re: Query on possible incorrect toxic domain classification

Hi SurabhiB, welcome to SFS.

This is the list of files that can be downloaded. The page contains brief information on each file + brief reasons on why domains are listed within the files as well as URLs for the various downloads.

Please give the url(s) for the List(s) that you have downloaded that contains the domains that you are concerned about.

The main reason for the presence of a domain within a toxic list is that it has been reported so many times as spam by so many honeypots that it has been moved into a Toxic listing. If you need further info you will need to wait until pedigree sees your reply to my query.

Re: Query on possible incorrect toxic domain classification

Hi Alex,
Thanks for a quick revert.
Since I registered today, I am unable to post URLs to this message as per the given error on this page..

I use "Toxic Domains (exact name match)"  from the link you shared to download the list - www.stopforumspam.com/downloads/toxic_domains_whole.txt

Reason for concern is - the salemkeizer.org domain is for a education org in Salem, Oregon.. And Zoho.in is a well established SaaS solution provider similar to google suite.. I came across these as part of my analysis and found to be incorrectly classified.

I will wait to understand if there is any further reasoning available for this classification.

Thanks again!

I've removed both and will look at how/when they were added.

On a side note, to date, zoho has been less then cooperative when it comes to addressing spam and abuse, not that that is any excuse to have their domain listed.

Salem might've been added because of intentional means to bypass email matching
