Blacklist Profiles\Invalument DNSBL
Invaluement is a DNSBL created by Rob McEwen, owner of a sole proprietorship called PowerView Systems in which their platform was developed by one of the long-time SURBL administrators and is now considered to be one of the four top-tier domain blacklists, alongside SURBL, URIBL and SpamHaus.”).
Their various lists includes those IPs and domain names which only appear in the body of unsolicited messages.

Threat level/ delivery impact
Network Resource/ Deliverability Impact - Below are threats that could cause some significant delivery and reputational issues. At worst, you will experience continued delivery impacts and may be forced to purchase new sending domain and IP resources in order to achieve optimal deliverability.
Nomination
Automatic (upon receipt of a spam to a spamtrap mailbox), with extensive whitelists and filtering to prevent false positives.
Listing lifetime
Typically an automatic expiration several weeks after the last abuse was seen.
Notes
Spam samples are always kept on file for each listing.
Delisting guidance
Removal requests are quickly and manually reviewed and processed without fees. Sample messages are kept on file for all listings. If the messages we have on file even look like spams *AND* your item is listed on one of the following DNSBLs:
- SURBL
- URIBL
- Zen
- SpamCop
...then expect it to be more difficult to get removed. Therefore, you may want to get removed there first, then come back here. Since those other DNSBLs are in use far more extensively than the invaluement lists, then your efforts will pay off to get off their lists ASAP.
