Status Definitions

Status Meaning Can Email?
Healthy Email address is valid and active Yes
Bounced Email address doesn't exist or inbox is full No
Complained Marked your email as spam No
Unsubscribed Opted out of your emails No

Why This Matters

Sending to bounced or complained addresses:

  • Damages your sender reputation
  • Can get your account flagged or suspended
  • Reduces deliverability to healthy contacts

What You Should Do

  1. Bounced contacts - Cannot be fixed. The email address is invalid.
  2. Complained contacts - Do NOT email them again. They reported you as spam.
  3. Unsubscribed contacts - Respect their choice. Only re-subscribe if they explicitly request it.

Automatic Protection

Our system automatically suppresses bounced and complained addresses to protect your deliverability.
