ListDefender Features
Powerful email list protection and management tools designed for small businesses who need clean lists, better engagement, and higher inbox placement.
Email List Cleaning
ListDefender automatically verifies and cleans your email list, removing invalid, disposable, and low-quality addresses so you only send to real subscribers who can actually receive your emails.
Comprehensive Form Protection
ListDefender's FormDefender blocks bots and fake sign-ups at the source. Real-time email validation keeps bad data out of your email marketing platform so your list stays clean from the moment someone fills out a form.
Engagement Management
ListDefender tracks how subscribers interact with your emails and identifies both unengaged contacts and those starting to go cold — so you can suppress the inactive ones and re-engage the rest.
Automatic Scans
We don't just clean your list once. ListDefender runs ongoing scans that catch issues early and keep your sender reputation strong. Scans are performed at a baseline of regular intervals, and individual contacts are scanned more frequently, as needed.
Configurable Quality Controls
ListDefender exposes options around quality to put you in control of how to handle different types of addresses. We give you options for flagging addresses that are vulgar or inappropriate, disposable, suspicious, role-based, email tags and non-business addresses.
Automatic Tagging
ListDefender uses a clear tag system that helps you instantly understand which contacts are safe to email, which ones need attention, and which ones can harm your deliverability. Small businesses need simplicity, not complexity, so our tag system is designed to be both clear and actionable.
New Subscriber and Slippage Monitoring
ListDefender monitors your email marketing platform for new subscribers and automatically scans and tags them within seconds of entering your list. You can even tell ListDefender to monitor subscribers for slippage -- when a subscriber doesn't interact with your emails within a configurable period.
Clear Dashboards
ListDefender gives you simple, easy-to-read dashboards that show the health of your email list, the status of your form protection, and any issues that need attention. You can configure monthly reports to be delivered straight to your inbox, or to your team, so everyone stays informed without having to log in or dig for data.
Detailed Contact Info
For businesses that want full visibility, ListDefender provides a detailed contact search where you can explore segments, view individual subscribers, and see each contact’s full email status history. You can review why a contact failed validity or quality checks, track engagement changes, and follow their ongoing audit trail across tagging, status updates, and list behavior. You can even override the system and mark trusted contacts as safe if needed.
Agency Management Suite
ListDefender’s agency edition gives you a consolidated dashboard to manage all client accounts in one place, including centralized invoicing and client notifications. You can quickly implement ListDefender for new clients using cloneable, pre-set configurations and easily manage each connection with consistent quality controls. It is built to give agencies speed, visibility, and simplicity at scale.
