          Subscribers with Enhanced Subscriber Features

          Include the subscriber's email status when exporting individual subscriber data or when exporting an entire subscriber list in Email Studio for Marketing Cloud Engagement. You can also filter subscriber searches by status from the all subscribers list and the lists subscriber tab.

          This information applies to accounts with the enhanced subscriber features enabled.

          You must have a valid email address for each subscriber you plan to send an email to. A valid email address:

          • is less than 100 characters long
          • has no leading or trailing spaces
          • contains only supported ASCII characters

          Active

          • No activities have occurred to make the subscriber's status bounced, undeliverable, unsubscribed, or deleted.
          • A subscriber whose status was bounced or undeliverable is recorded as having opened or clicked through a received email. In this case, the system changes the subscriber's status back to active.

          • One or two soft bounces are received for the subscriber.
          • One hard bounce is received for the subscriber.

          Undeliverable subscriber icon
          Held (Undeliverable)

          A subscriber who meets the following criteria is considered held (undeliverable).

          • Three hard bounces or three soft bounces are received for the subscriber and at least 15 days have passed since the first bounce.

            If the bounce was from a trusted domain, only one hard bounce is required. For the most current list of trusted domains, contact mc-deliverability@salesforce.com.

          Unsubscribe Subscriber Icon
          Unsubscribed

          A subscriber who meets any of the following criteria is considered unsubscribed:

          • The subscriber has requested to be removed from a single list, multiple lists, or all lists. The subscriber's status is changed to unsubscribed for the selected lists or at the all subscribers level.
          • An Engagement user manually unsubscribes a subscriber on a list, thus changing the status to unsubscribed for that list.
          • The subscriber submitted an AOL spam complaint. In this case, the subscriber's status is changed to unsubscribed at the all subscribers level.
            Deleted

          A subscriber who meets either of the following criteria is considered deleted:

          • An Engagement user deleted a subscriber from a list other than the all subscribers list. In this case, the subscriber's status for that list only is deleted.
          • An Engagement user has deleted a subscriber from the all subscribers list. In this case, the subscriber's global status is deleted.

          We do not recommend deleting subscribers. To prevent sending to a subscriber in a future send, update the subscriber's status to unsubscribed.

          • Add a Subscriber Manually
