Email statuses explained

Each email has a status that reflects its delivery state.

  • Processing: The email has been received and is in the process of being sent.

  • Delivered: The email has successfully reached the recipient's mail server.

  • Bounced: The mail server declined the email permanently, typically indicating an issue with the recipient's email address.

  • Dropped: The email was discarded by the recipient's mail server.

  • Blocked: A temporary issue prevented the email server from accepting the message. This specific email won't be resent, but future messages to this address will be attempted.

  • Deferred: Initial delivery attempts were unsuccessful. The system will retry sending for a few more hours before marking it as "bounced" if unsuccessful.

  • Unknown: No data is available for this email.


Email queueing behaviour

When large volumes of emails are sent, delivery is rate-limited to ensure system stability.

  • If more than 2000 emails are sent, additional emails are placed in a queue

  • Queued emails receive the status Queued

  • Each day, the system sends the oldest 1000 queued emails

  • Remaining emails stay in the queue until processed

🔥 Important

  • This limit helps prevent emails sent from TinQwise from being flagged as spam or blocked by mail providers.

  • By controlling the sending volume, email deliverability and sender reputation are protected.


Good to know

  • If an email is marked as bounced or dropped, the recipient will not receive further emails for 7 days

  • If an email shows as delivered, but the user did not receive it, advise them to check:

    • Spam folder

    • Junk mail

    • Email security filters
