hey @twisted1919 I’ve just noticed that some GiveUp messages are because the email address has no MX records. Surely this should be a blacklist so they don’t keep getting sent to?

Hmm, good point. Does this count as a soft error and get blacklisted after X times based on the settings in backend? That would make sense.

Thank you, otherwise these errors keep going round and will make esp’s assume you’re not removing bad addresses

Keep in mind, per RFC, a mail server does not need an MX record, it will default to the A/AAAA record if need be.
Hence, "no mx" does not need to be classed as blacklist/bounce, just as certain MTAs have an optional setting for this classification, to allow choice. I would recommend to let it play out until it is a real bounce after a few days.
