What are the different statuses?
There are several sub-statuses for emails sent from your site; however, the two primary statuses are Sent or Skipped. The sub-statuses include:
Sub-status | What does it mean? | How to respond |
---|---|---|
Sent | The message was sent but the system hasn't received an indication that it was delivered. | Contact your email provider to see why the server isn't responding. |
Bounced | The message was sent but rejected by the recipient's email server. |
|
Confirmed Delivered | The message was sent and the system indicated that it was delivered. | This doesn't require further action unless a user reports that they aren't getting emails even when those emails show as being delivered.
|
Opened | The message was successfully delivered and opened by the recipient. | No action is needed. |
Clicked | The message was successfully delivered and the recipient opened it and clicked the link. | No action is needed. |
SpamReport | The message was sent but either the recipient or their email server flagged the message as spam. |
|
Test Address | The message was skipped because the recipient address was a test address. | The system recognizes addresses ending in @example.com as test addresses and doesn't send notifications to them.
|
Previous SpamReport | The message was skipped because the recipient or their email server flagged a previous message from your system as spam.
|
|
Previous Opt-out | The message was skipped because the recipient opted out of emails from your system. | The user can opt back in from their user profile area. |
Previous Bounce | The message was skipped because a previous message to this email address bounced.
|
|
Invalid Email Address | The message was skipped because the email address isn't valid. | Check that the email is valid and correct. |
Skipped by Template Rule | The message was skipped because you, or a site manager, have deactivated the template. | You can reactivate a template from Communications > Notifications.
|
Skipped by Domain Suppression | This message was skipped because you or a site manager have disabled email delivery from your main settings. | To enable email delivery to receive automated notifications from the site:

A note about the Bounced status
If an email has a status of Bounced, then:
- Check that the email address is correct—no misspellings, correct domain, etc.—and that the user's email system and domain are active.
- An email may bounce if the email system is down when it should have been received.
- Have the user check to see if their mailbox is full or if their "out of office" response is turned on.
How to clear a bounced record
If everything appears to be in order and the email address is an active address that should be receiving the emails but isn't, then you can try clearing the user's bounced record.
- From the user's profile, you can manage their bounced record.
- This option only appears under Basic Info of a user's profile when they have a true bounced record
- Instruct the recipient to add galaxydigital.com to their safe-senders list ("white" list).
ⓘ So you know: We recommend white-listing email addresses that are approved for your site by using the Email From Address field in your site settings. For the best results, we recommend white-listing bounced emails and the amazonses.com email domain.
