What is a Suppression List?
A suppression list contains email addresses of recipients who have either unsubscribed from your emails, opted out, or marked your emails as spam. This list ensures you do not send emails to these addresses, helping you:
- Avoid damaging your sender reputation.
- Maintain compliance with anti-spam laws.
- Send emails only to recipients who want to hear from you.
