127.0.0.*

Automatically generated lists have automatic removal processes. Put simply remove the source of the abuse listing and an automatic retest will remove the entry. A waiting/parol period is assigned according to the extent of the abuse. This can be checked using the IP Query Tool or the Spammer WHOIS archive used to generate the lists.

127.0.1.*

Manual or semi-automatic lists have retest and removal request criteria, see below for details.
