Domain is blacklisted. Will a newly created subdomain be affected too?

The domain is affected and has been blacklisted while sending emails. The IPs are fine though.

(It's literally due to my foolishness. I know I should have warmed up the IP but listened to the server guy instead. I knew I should have created a sub-domain beforehand and sent from that, but I totally forgot.)

I already applied to remove the domain from the blacklist.

What should I do now? Buy another domain or just creating a sub-domain will be fine?
 
If your IP listed under Blacklist then there is no use of creating subdomain for emails.
 
You could grab a new domain with the same name, but with a different extension e.g. mydomain.com then grab mydomain.net as the mailing domain.

Worth doing to safeguard your main domains.
 
You should always have multiple domains handy and warm them up simultaneously because domains will get burn eventually, always have back-up. Get a new domain and get started, forget about that blacklisted domain as of now.

No, the IPs are fine. Do you think creating a subdomain out of that domain will work? Or, I will just have to get a new domain.

Yes, that's what I was thinking. The cost of doing business.

Go for a new domain.
 
You can actually message the blacklisting database to remove your IP and they will remove it from the database. This once happened to me and I messaged the database spamhaus and asked them to remove it. (first by filling a form and then messaged them)
 
I suggest to go for a new domain, its better to avoid the blacklisted domain.

Yes, that's what I did. I just created a sub-domain from one of my existing domains and it worked. I was not sure at first but VestaCP is easy to use. The VPS support is awful, anyway. They don't help much.

I already did. I would wait and see if it ever gets removed from the blacklist. My Google research tells me that usually if you don't send emails from a blacklisted domain, it would probably take a month or so to get clean again.

But then again, the tag of getting blacklisted always stays. So, no point taking a risk with that domain again.
