Under the Engagement tab for a contact, the emails have been bouncing as Suspended. However, under the Reporting tab, it does NOT say Suspended; it says Subscribed. I am sure the email address is correct, but the recipient is NOT receiving the emails. Any help is appreciated.

Hello @Cresa ,

 

Please do not put contacts' sensitive info, such as their email address, in this public forum. In the future, please email us as asked when it comes to potentially sensitive info.

 

The contact provided is showing under your recent sendouts as a suspended bounce. Please see the video linked by the bounce type in the Reporting page, or our main article on bounces, or this article that specifically addresses suspended bounces for more info on the type and how contacts become suspended. Suspended contacts are a bounce type, not a permissions type, meaning like other bounces they would still show as subscribed to you.

 

I got the contact unsuspended in our system administratively. As a follow-up, I'd recommend doing a Quicksend of the last email they were supposed to receive. If we receive a report from their domain / ISP about them being 'non-existent' again, then they'll likely be put back into suspension. You can check this by going to the contact's engagement history right after doing the Quicksend.

If the non-existent bounce occurs again, then it may be worth reaching out to our Delivery team to see if they have any additional insight regarding that domain / ISP.
