Every email campaign that gets scheduled for delivery goes through a review process, and based on the results, our system either approves or rejects the email campaign. While most clients won’t ever notice a rejected email, some will, and usually, they are in “risky” sending industries.
Benchmark Email reserves the right to deny campaigns that are determined to be risky or abusive. Risky industries have a much higher bounce rate, unsubscribe rate, and let’s not forget a much higher abuse complaint rate. Allowing email sends from these industries can hurt the Benchmark sending reputation. Therefore we have a list of industries we prohibit.
Please see the list below to learn which industries Benchmark rejects.
