The question is - what can I do with the fact that all domains assigned for new IP range were listed by Spam Eating Monkey as 'SEM-FRESH' for the whole 15 days. The domains are not fresh really, they are 4 months old. It happened perhaps because they were first assigned to any IP's just in January. But the question is should I really wait these 15 days and do nothing, or can I slowly start mailing? What influence has this kind of blacklisting on delivery, especially for majors? What else and how deep can be impacted if I'd prefer to start anyway? I just don't want to sit and wait wasting time if it's not really needed, but don't want to get into even more problems deciding to start now despite this listing. Thank you for any help in advance.
SEM alone isnt enough to cause delivery issues. It usually needs to be in combination with a URI based trap (e.g URIBL, SURBL, sometimes even Host Karma is enough) and then you light up across the board.
