How to blacklist certain contacts

If you want to stop certain contacts from being added again or receiving campaigns, use the Mailcamp blacklist. The blacklist is a blocking layer that prevents those email addresses from being treated as normal sending contacts.

Where to manage blacklisted contacts

  • Go to Settings > Blacklist.
  • This is where you manage blocked email addresses.

How to blacklist a single contact

  • Open the blacklist page.
  • Choose the import or add flow for a single email address.
  • Enter the email address you want to block.
  • Save the entry.

How to blacklist many contacts at once

  • Prepare a CSV file with one email per row.
  • Use the blacklist import option.
  • Upload the CSV and run the import.

What happens after a contact is blacklisted

  • The email address is blocked from being added as a normal contact again.
  • The address is excluded from campaign sending.
  • Blacklisting helps protect sender reputation and reduces avoidable sending risk.

When to use the blacklist

  • For addresses that hard-bounced.
  • For addresses you know are invalid, unsafe, or should never receive campaigns again.
  • For contacts you want to block more strictly than a normal unsubscribe state.

How to remove someone from the blacklist

  • Open the blacklist page.
  • Select the email address.
  • Delete the blacklist entry if you want to allow it again.

A simple way to think about it is this: unsubscribing stops normal campaign sending for a contact, while blacklisting is a stronger block that prevents the address from being treated as a normal contact in the first place.
