Suppression Lists

A Suppression List is a list of suppressed e-mail addresses used by e-mail senders to comply with the CAN-SPAM Act of 2003. CAN-SPAM requires that senders of commercial emails provide a functioning opt-out mechanism by which email recipients can unsubscribe their email address from future email messages.

The unsubscribed email addresses are placed into a "suppression list" which is used to "suppress" future email messages to that email address.

There are two types of suppression lists within Oempro

• Local Suppression List
  This the list specific suppression list only valid for the particular mailing list.
• Global Suppression List
  The subscribers added to global suppression list will be excluded from mail deliveries from all the mailing list under the users account.
