    According to Blacklist.ie my MacBook Pro, iPhone and Windows laptop are all blacklisted.

    Blacklist.ie checks about twenty blacklisting sites, and my devices are listed on three of them; Barracuda and SORBS (twice). All the other sites are Not Listed.

    1. Could this be a reason why I cannot send emails to eircom.net addresses without them going straight to the recipients spam folder?

    2. How might I have become blacklisted? (One of the SORBS listings dates back to 2008)

    3. How can I get delisted?

    Many thanks.

    D.

    What do you mean your devices are blacklisted?

    It's IP addresses not Mac addresses that get blacklisted. All or nearly all dynamic IP addresses will appear on some blacklists often just because they are from dynamic ranges for domestic end users so unless you have a static IP I wouldn't worry about it.
