3. What is blacklisted email addresses?

A blacklisted email is an email that is excluded from receiving your campaigns due to certain reasons. None of your campaigns will be sent to these emails after they have been blacklisted. However, these emails will still be in your lists and in your database. An email can be blacklisted due to several reasons:

• We have lots of blacklisted domains and email address which we have collected from our mailing activities over the years.
• They have resulted as a hardbounce (ex: their email address does not exist)
• They have marked your emails as SPAM
• They have unsubscribed from your emails
• or you have blacklisted them manually
