Managing suppressions is key to maximizing email delivery. If recipients have an easy way to tell that they want to stop receiving emails instead of using the spam button, this will provide more valuable insights without affecting the IP reputation.
Global Unsubscribe
Global unsubscribe allows your recipients to unsubscribe from all emails you send them. You can reach Global Unsubscribe through Audience > Suppression > Global Unsubscribe.
If you have restricted access to the panel, the email addresses will be displayed as muted values. Please contact your Administrator to view the user fields.
Depending on your package, you will see Email, SMS, and WhatsApp products. You can switch between tabs to manage recipients who are no longer subscribers in any of these channels.
Import global unsubscribes
You can import your unsubscribers using two different methods: Manually or by uploading a file.
Add Manually
Click Add Users and select Add Manually.
Add your unsubscribers manually, one by one. Enter the email address and click the Add button.
Import
Click Add Users and select Import.
Upload your CSV file, which contains only one email address column, without a header.
The import process may take a while. Once it is completed, your processed unsubscribes will be displayed.
After completing the uploading process, you will receive an email regarding the completion.
Remove from Unsubscribe
This option lets you delete a user from Global Unsubscribe, both in Insider's database and on the email service provider's end. Click the Remove button next to the contact you want to delete.
Only the Administrator and users with access to PII data can view personal information on this page. You can provide your members with user access to view the PII, customer personal data, or user profiles from the User Management page.

Using the Unsubscribe API, you can add global unsubscribes to the Global Unsubscribe suppression list and add these users to specific unsubscribe groups.

Using the Resubscribe API, you can also resubscribe users to specific unsubscribe groups.
Unsubscribe Groups
If you don’t want your users to unsubscribe from all emails you’re sending, you can create “Unsubscribe Groups.” This option will unsubscribe users only from that particular type of email, but they will remain as contacts, and their information will not be removed. For example, if you’re sending Marketing Campaigns, recipients can unsubscribe from specific types of emails that they would rather not receive anymore, but they will keep receiving the transactional emails.
You can reach Unsubscribe Groups through Audience > Suppression > Unsubscribe Groups.
Only the Administrator and users with access to PII data can view personal information on this page. You can provide your members with user access to view the PII, customer personal data, or user profiles from the User Management page.
Create unsubscribe groups
To create an unsubscribe group, click the Create button.
Name your unsubscribe group and add a description.
Click the Create button.
You can have 20 unsubscribe groups at most.
After creating your group, click the group’s name, and you will be directed to the respective contacts page.

The Export button will work only if the user is an Administrator or allowed to see PII information on the panel.
Bounces
Bounces occur when a mailbox provider rejects an email. An email can bounce when you try to send it to an email address that never existed or an email address that was once valid but has been retired or deactivated. An email can bounce if the local part before the @ symbol or the domain after the @ symbol is invalid.
When your message bounces, it is recommended to suppress that address from your future mailings. Insider's suppression management system takes care of this automatically and auto-drops any future requests to this email address.
Common reasons for bounces are as follows:
The recipient address might no longer exist.
The recipient address might be invalid.
The recipient address is unknown.
Mailbox providers automatically notify users of delivery failures. This message contains an RFC code and the reason for the bounce. A 5XX RFC code indicates hard bounces (permanent shortcomings). Below is an example case for this type of error.

Bounces are also known as hard bounces.
To find bounced email IDs, navigate to Audience > Suppression > Bounces.
Users who bounce are automatically added to the Central Bounce.
Add Contacts
To import a list of your bounced email IDs from a file, click Add Contacts.
Add contacts has two options to let you import contacts:
Add manually: Add the bounced email IDs one by one.
Import: Add a list of bounced email IDs by uploading a .csv file with the email addresses.
The uploaded document should be in CSV format and have only one column without a header for Email Addresses.
Remove from Bounces
To remove a contact, click Remove from Bounces. This action will delete the contact from the database of bounces; they will, therefore, be a sendable contact. You can't revert this action.
Remove from Bounces permanently deletes the contact from the invalids page.
Export data
To export the data, click the Export button. When the process is complete, you will receive an email containing the list of email addresses.
Only members with user access can view this section. You can provide your members with user access to view customer PII, personal data, or User Profiles from the User Management page.
Central Bounce
All the permanent bounces caused by an invalid recipient's email address or a nonexistent domain name across Insider accounts are flagged as Central Bounce. You can check if the users are on Central Bounce while uploading a file to the Contact Lists. If the contact exists in the central bounce, add them to the bounced list. You can also view the count of these users on List Upload Confirmation emails under 'Total Bounced Users'.
You can enable this feature from your Email settings on the InOne panel.
Blocks
Blocks occur when a message is not delivered. Unlike bounces, a block doesn't mean that the recipient's email address is invalid, but your message failed to deliver temporarily due to content, reputation issues, or technical failures.
Common reasons for email blocks are as follows:
The recipient’s mailbox may be full.
The mail server may be down.
Your email message may be too large.
The mail server may have sent too many messages within a certain period of time.
Suspicious links may have been detected.
Suspicious HTML characteristics may have been detected.
A server may be unreachable for an extended period of time.
The mailbox provider may be unable to look up the necessary DNS records to verify a sender.
The email may be sent to a certain mailbox provider too quickly.
IP may be blocked by the blacklisting organization.
Email may be deferred temporarily.
A deferral occurs when the server temporarily limits access to its system. It works much like a telephone’s busy signal. When an inbox provider defers your email, we will still attempt to deliver your message for up to 72 hours. If your message gets deferred for more than 72 hours, it will get blocked and a block event will register. However, if the message gets successfully delivered within the 72-hour window, it will register as a delivered event.
A deferral can occur if:
The receiving server doesn't recognize your IP, and may think you're sending a spam.
The receiving server doesn't have any open ports to receive email.
The recipient's mailbox is full.
Some recipients have marked your mail as spam, but this is not enough reason for the server to block you. Instead, they will refuse to receive more until they can learn more about how their users interact with your messages.
Mailbox providers give an automatic notification of the delivery failure. This message contains an RFC code and the reason for the bounce. A 4XX RFC code indicates email blocks. Below is an example of a block..png)
Blocks are also known as soft bounces.
To see blocked contacts, navigate to Audience > Suppression > Blocks.
Remove from Blocks
If you click the Remove from blocks button, the selected contact will be permanently removed from the database of blocks.
Export data
To export the data, click the Export button. You will receive an email containing the email addresses in your inbox in a short time.
Blocks are less permanent than bounces. This is a list of refused messages that were either blocked by an internet service provider or deferred for more than 72 hours. Additionally, Insider does not treat the block list as a suppression list—subsequent sends to emails on this list will be sent as usual.
