Suppressing Email Addresses

Introduction

The Suppression List feature in Gravity SMTP helps you manage email delivery by blocking specific addresses from receiving messages. You can add addresses manually, track why and when they were suppressed, and reactivate them if needed. Suppressed emails are still logged in the Email Log, so you’ll always know what’s happening.

Adding A Suppressed Recipient

  1. Go to Gravity SMTP → Suppressions.

Searching Suppressed Recipients

The Suppressions list entries can be searched using the search bar in the upper right corner of the Suppressions list page. The search will match any entered text against the email data of the sender, recipient, subject, and body text. The search is case-insensitive.
