In this article:

Suppression List is a special type of List for email addresses you do not want emails to be delivered to. It helps ensure your deliverability and engagement are good by ensuring you do not send emails to users who do not want to receive them.

How are users added to the Suppression List

Users are added to the Suppression List in two ways:

  1. Users are manually added when you "Suppress" them. You can also upload a file containing the emails you want to suppress. More on this below.

  2. Users are automatically added when they:

    1. Complain about your email or mark it as spam.

    2. Unsubscribe from a broadcast with Global Suppression turned on.

    3. Have a hard bounce–a failed email delivery due to a reason that is not temporary.
