# How do I get off Backscatterer?

Backscatterer lists based on Misdirected Bounces or Misdirected Autoresponders or Sender Callouts. They do not offer delistings and will only remove you after they do not see this traffic for 30 days.

Keep in mind that this list is a "best practices" list and very few people block email based off this list. Many large mail systems, such as Windows Live Mail, Gmail, Yahoo, etc., end up on this list. If you are having delivery issues, there might be something else that needs to be addressed.

In short, they want you to not send bouncebacks for non-existent email accounts. Any vacation auto-responders or auto-replies should not send more than once in a 24-hour period, and your system should not use the VRFY command to check if an address is valid (few systems do by default anymore).

You can opt out of being alerted to a status change by going to your notification policy. You can find your notification policy by clicking on "Monitor", then "Notifications", then the appropriate policy (usually default).

You will find the "Filters" section at the bottom. You can choose to opt out of receiving alerts about any specific status change you wish by using the drop-down box.
