What is “spamtrap rejection”?

Spamtrap rejection indicates you have hit a monitored trap address:

What spamtraps are:

Pristine traps: Addresses that were never used by real people. Recycled traps: Abandoned addresses repurposed as traps. Typo traps: Common misspellings of popular domains.

Why it matters:

Hitting traps indicates list quality problems. May indicate purchased lists, scraped addresses, or poor hygiene. Severe reputation damage can result.

Typical response:

Not all providers explicitly report spamtrap hits. Some reject with generic messages. Others silently affect reputation.

Your response:

Review list acquisition methods. Implement double opt-in. Regularly clean inactive addresses. Never purchase or scrape email lists.

Spamtrap hits are major red flags. They signal fundamental list quality problems requiring immediate attention.
