Change the Restrictions Set On An Email Address

Email addresses can have restrictions set on them at the contact level: Transactional Only, or Do Not Contact.

• Transactional Only: this will only allow transactional-type messages to this address. Think invoices for membership, payment receipts, that sort of thing. Emails sent thru the events module include those marked as Transactional Only. It does not send to those marked as Do Not Contact. When someone registers for an event, it is considered a transaction that they opted into, thus they are a candidate for receiving emails in that case.
• Do Not Contact: an email address with this set at the contact level will receive NO messages from GrowthZone. At all. Even if a message is being sent to only that contact, GrowthZone will not deliver any emails to that address.

Email addresses can also be marked as Do Not Contact at the List/Committee level; this will only prevent messages sent to that list from reaching that member.

Using the Contacts report you can view a report of your contact's restrictions. Include Transactional Emails Only and Do Not Contact in your fields to display. You can filter the results further by adding additional filtering such as Transactional Emails Only = True or Do Not Contact = True. See Contacts Report for further information on working with this report
