Blacklist

Blacklist shows the email addresses Leena AI has stopped sending to, and lets you put them back.

Addresses are blacklisted automatically when the email provider reports a problem — a hard bounce, a spam complaint, or a repeated delivery failure. Continuing to send to them damages your domain's sending reputation, which is why the platform suppresses them rather than retrying.

Where to find it

Open the Admin Console, then go to Email settings → Blacklist.

Blacklisted users

The table lists every suppressed address:

ColumnWhat it shows
Email addressThe suppressed address
Last blacklisted onWhen it was most recently blacklisted
Blacklist countHow many times it has been blacklisted
Last whitelisted onWhen it was most recently restored
Whitelist countHow many times it has been restored
Last whitelisted byWhich dashboard user restored it
StatusWhether the address is currently whitelisted

The two counts together tell you whether an address is a one-off or a recurring problem. An address blacklisted repeatedly after each restore has an underlying issue — a full mailbox, a mistyped address in the employee record, or a mail server rejecting your domain — and whitelisting it again won't fix that.

Investigating why

Each row links to the evidence behind the suppression:

  • Mail Log — the delivery log for that address
  • SendGrid Event or Mailgun Event — the provider's own event record, depending on which provider you use

Check the provider event before restoring an address. It distinguishes a hard bounce, which means the address doesn't exist, from a spam complaint, which means the recipient actively marked your mail as junk — and those call for different responses.

Whitelisting an address

Use the row action to whitelist an address and resume sending to it. A confirmation appears once it's done, and the whitelist count and Last whitelisted by update.

⚠️

Fix the cause before restoring

Whitelisting only lifts the suppression. If the underlying delivery problem is still there, the address will be blacklisted again on the next send — and each cycle of bounces adds further damage to your sending reputation.
