At the moment, we don’t provide a web-based lookup form. So you’ll need to use whatever you normally use to look things up in DNS, such as nslookup or dig. Some of the multi-RBL lookup services include our data, but we’ve found that they’re having a hard time keeping up to date, so it’s hard to recommend any of them. Do your own lookups. Get the data straight from the horse’s mouth, as it were. It’s more reliable.
- Look up d.c.b.a.bl.scientificspam.net to figure out if the IP address a.b.c.d is listed. It will return 127.0.0.2 if listed, nothing otherwise.
- Look up domain.example.rhsbl.scientificspam.net (no need to reverse the parts here) to figure out if domain.example is listed. It will return 127.0.1.2 if listed, nothing otherwise.
- Set the type to TXT instead and rerun the query in order to view the human-readable description of the listing.
Examples:
C:\>nslookup Default Server: [YOUR DNS SERVER] Address: [ITS IP ADDRESS] > 2.0.0.127.bl.scientificspam.net Server: [YOUR DNS SERVER] Address: [ITS IP ADDRESS]#53 Non-authoritative answer: Name: 2.0.0.127.bl.scientificspam.net Address: 127.0.0.2 > set type=txt > 2.0.0.127.bl.scientificspam.net Server: [YOUR DNS SERVER] Address: [ITS IP ADDRESS]#53 Non-authoritative answer: 2.0.0.127.bl.scientificspam.net text = "Sample entry - this list is active"

When I check my domain by IP address 127.0.0.2 is returned but by domain name nothing is returned
dig +short 33.119.127.174.bl.scientificspam.net
127.0.0.2
dig +short real-world-systems.com.rhsbl.scientificspam.net
dig +short real-world-systems.com.rhsbl.scientificspam.net -t txt

Am I doing something wrong?
You have performed
twofour queries:* a query for an IP address, both A and TXT
* a query for a domain name, both A and TXT
The results you included are for the IP address.
You have omitted showing the query that provided the latter result; that would be “dig +short 33.119.127.174.bl.scientificspam.net -t txt”.
The domain name queries return nothing because we do not list that domain name.
The IP address queries return something (i.e. something is listed).
If you want to discuss it further, take it to email.
I am a little confused on how to search for my website. Is this the correct format?
OUR.DOMAIN.rhsbl.scientificspam.net
As shown above. Correctly formatted names will have A records (resolve to IP addresses) in the 127.x.x.x range if listed; the corresponding TXT records will describe why.
You should check out scileads, they scrap and collect millions of email from scientific publications, academic websites, poster and grants and sell them. They are the #1 scientific spam producer in the world based in Belfast Ireland.
Their compliance is a little known link to remove your (7.9 million scientists emails) from their database. You should post it so scientists can request to remove themselves, I did.
