What causes an account to be marked as temporary hold?

If a particular email address seems suspicious upon being added to your account, through a sign up form you've made through us, then our system may flag it as Temporary Hold for a time. Additionally, if an account has Confirm-Opt-In turned on for their account, incoming contacts that haven't clicked the coded link in their confirmation emails will stay as Temp Hold until they've done so.
