Help contacts "unblock" Constant Contact emails in their Internet Service Provider (ISP) or domain

Article: 000005287
Updated: November 15, 2024

Help contacts communicate with a small ISP to unblock emails, or contact us if your customers are having trouble with a larger ISP

If you believe your email campaigns are being blocked by an ISP (Internet Service Provider) or a domain, as opposed to being filtered, the way to handle the issue depends on the size of the ISP or domain:


Large ISPs and Domains

When numerous subscribers from the same large email domain (like Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo, etc.) or large ISP (like Comcast, Road Runner, Verizon, etc.) are appearing in the "Blocked" bounce category in your account, it may be because of a change in the ISP's DMARC policy.

Please contact us directly so we can take steps to resolve the issue. Our ISP Relations Team has experience working with these large providers and will work to resolve the problem on your behalf.

 

Small ISPs and Domains

For smaller ISPs and domains, start by reaching out to your affected contacts or their ISP directly. We’ve created two letters (below) to help you communicate with your contacts and their ISPs. 

Once the letters have been sent to your affected contacts, our ISP Relations Team will work with the appropriate individuals to resolve the issue. 

The ISP Relations Team is available (ops@constantcontact.com) should the ISP/Domain require follow-up information such as mail logs. We have found this approach usually yields much faster results because the admins are hearing from their own users who want the mail.

Exclamation Point IconImportant: Copy and paste both letters into an email addressed to your affected contacts, but don't send the email from your Constant Contact account. If your Constant Contact emails are being blocked, your affected contacts will never see the letters, so it's better to send them through your official business email.
 

Letter You Send to Your Subscriber

Be sure to replace the XXXXXX with the appropriate names when you send the letter to your contact. The XXXX in the letter is a direction for your contacts to replace the similar fields in the letter they send to their ISP or domain.

 
To: Contact
Subject: Please Contact Your ISP

Hello XXXXXX,

I am emailing to alert you that your ISP is blocking the newsletters/promotions/
announcements you have subscribed to receive. I know that you would like to receive 
these valuable communications, so I ask that you send the attached letter to your 
ISP's customer support department. Please be sure to replace the information in all 
three of the XXXX areas in the attached letter.

As you may know, Constant Contact powers the email communications I send. When you 
receive a response from your ISP, please forward the response email to the 
following address: ops@constantcontact.com. The Operations Department at Constant 
Contact will follow-up with your ISP once they receive your email.

I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you.

Sincerely,
XXXXXX 
 

Letter Your Subscriber Sends to their ISP

To: ISP Customer Support
Subject: Remove Constant Contact Block

Hello. My name is XXXX and I have been a customer of your services since XXXX. I 
understand that you employ filters and/or blocklists to protect customers like 
myself from unsolicited email; however, this has made it impossible for me to 
receive newsletters, announcements, and promotions that I have requested. I value 
these communications and would like to receive them using this email address.


The sender of these emails uses an email marketing service called Constant Contact. 
Constant Contact is not an open relay and has strict anti-spam policies in place. 
Because your filters block emails from Constant Contact I am unable to receive these
communications.

I ask that you please help me determine why these emails are being blocked. For 
further information about Constant Contact or to request more information from 
them such as log files, the Operations team can be reached at - 781.472.8103 or 
ops@constantcontact.com.

Mail from Constant Contact can be found by the following characteristics for 
safelisting:
