How do I use a suppression list with my campaign?

There may be situations where you need to use a suppression file of Contact email address to ensure they are not included in a particular campaign.  A suppression list is not the same as the unsubscribed contact list-- a suppression list can be independently uploaded and applied to any campaign, where those Contact emails are not in the unsubscribed status.

Note: Create your suppression list as a .txt formatted file containing email address only, listed one per line. Make sure that the file contains no commas or headers.

1. Go to Contacts
2. Click 'Suppression Lists' on left menu
