Address Suppression

Given the one-to-many nature of a role-based address, emails sent to these addresses have a higher-than-normal rate of bounces, unsubscribes, and spam complaints. In addition, role-based addresses often fall into disuse and are more likely to be repurposed as spam traps as a result.

Lead Gen & CRM suppresses the following addresses:
 

When Suppression Occurs

Email sends to role-based email addresses are suppressed in the following cases: 

• During a bulk-send of emails to a list.
  Role-based addresses using the prefixes mentioned above will not receive an email. All other email addresses in the list will receive an email.
   
• When sending smart mail to an individual.
  Individual smart mail will not be delivered to role-based addresses using the prefixes mentioned above unless the Lead Gen & CRM user sending the email has mail sync enabled. 
   
• Within automations that trigger an email send.
  Any automations that trigger an email send will not deliver mail to role-based addresses using the prefixes mentioned above. All other email addresses involved in the automation will receive an email. 

Import List Failure

When a new email contact list is imported, Lead Gen & CRM evaluates the overall quality of the list based on a variety of factors, including an evaluation done by a third-party verification service. If 45% or more of the list contains contacts with email addresses deemed suppressed, invalid, toxic, or purchased, Lead Gen & CRM will not allow the contact list import to continue. This measure is taken to both ensure the long-term health and viability of the platform and to protect your own sender and domain reputation.

Domain Suppression
