Why are some of my contacts ignored?

Why are some of my contacts ignored?

There are a few reasons why you may see some contacts excluded from your list:
  1. Bounced - Mail was undeliverable to the contacts or the email address doesn't exist.
  2. Blocked - Contacts blocked by Zoho Marketing Automation.
  3. Do-Not-Mail - Contact has been moved to do-not-mail registry.
  4. Role-based email addresses - Contact address is generic. For example, info@, administrator@, careers@, service@, or support@.
  5. Duplicate Entries - Contact is present more than once in the file.
  6. Invalid Pattern - Contact has an email address in an invalid format. For example, "johngmail.com", "jane@aol",  or "ted@zylkercom".
  7. Empty Email - Contact's email address field is empty.
  8. Other Errors - Contacts categorized as miscellaneous and don’t fall into the above-mentioned categories.
