Suppressions
The suppression list is an automated safeguard that helps maintain your email list hygiene and protect your sender reputation. When using OneSignal as your email service provider, this feature automatically manages problematic email addresses to prevent deliverability issues. More on email deliverability
How It Works
When OneSignal detects any of the following conditions:
- An email recipient marks your message as spam
- An email address has previously bounced
The system automatically adds these email addresses to your suppression list. Once an address is suppressed, OneSignal will no longer attempt to send emails to it, helping to:
- Maintain a clean email list
- Improve overall deliverability
- Protect your sender reputation
- Reduce bounce rates
Managing Your Suppression List
You can view and manage your suppression list by navigating to Settings > Email > Suppression:

A suppression list in OneSignal
Here you can find a list of all suppressed email addresses, separated into lists depending on whether they were the result of a bounce, spam report, added manually through the dashboard or uploaded manually via our CSV Import tool.
Note:If you are using another ESP as your email service provider, your suppression list must be managed directly through your ESP's platform.
