Managing Contacts Listed on the Kill File

Contacts listed on the kill file appear on the same list for all projects within the account. There is a list for emails and another for SMS (if the SMS module is activated). A contact on the kill file does not receive any communication for the linked channel and that applies to all projects of the account. When you remove a contact from the kill file, the sendings for Email or SMS will restart. Note that quarantine can also affect sendings. 

Different reasons can cause the addition of a contact to the kill file. For the email kill file, the most frequent case is when the contact reports the message as spam or junk. The addition of the contact is done automatically by the system. For the SMS kill file, a contact may have answered STOP. Also, a contact can be added manually after a verbal or written request from the customer. 


Consult the Kill File

Choose the kill file to display, either Email or SMS:
You can click on Complete list or Search to find contacts using specific filters. For example, if you want only Outlook addresses in your results, use %outlook% as a filter. To see the list, you must have admin access to the account.
