How to delist your IP from the Gremlin.RU DRBL

To delist from the Gremlin.RU DRBL node, you’ll need to follow the procedure outlined in their policy.

Here are the steps:

1. Understand the Situation: If you’ve received a bounce message indicating that your IP is listed on drbl.gremlin.ru, you should understand why.

2. Identify the Reason: Use the host command to find out why your IP is listed. For example:

   host -t any [your_IP_address].drbl.gremlin.ru
   

3. Fix the Issue: Address the problem that caused your IP to be listed. For instance, if it’s due to spam activity from compromised accounts, secure your accounts and prevent future incidents.

4. Contact the Maintainers: Find out how to contact the maintainers of the vote zones associated with your listing. Use the host command to query the SOA record:

   host -t soa vote.drbl.gremlin.ru
   

   This will provide you with the contact email.

5. Submit a Delisting Request: Once you’ve fixed the issue, contact the maintainers of the vote zones associated with your listing and request delisting. Ensure you provide all necessary information and demonstrate that you’ve resolved the issue.

6. Wait for Confirmation: After submitting your delisting request, wait for confirmation from the maintainers. They will review your request and take appropriate action.

Remember to be polite and provide clear and concise information when submitting your delisting request. Also, note that delisting requests are accepted only from network administrators according to the whois information. If you’re not the network administrator, attempting to delist may not be effective and could have negative consequences.
