What is the impact of hitting pristine vs. recycled traps on recovery?
Trap type impact differences:
Pristine traps:
Never valid email addresses
Created specifically as traps
Only hit by scraped or purchased lists
Severe reputation impact
Indicates serious list quality problems
Harder to recover from
Recycled traps:
Former valid addresses converted to traps
Hit by senders not practicing hygiene
Indicates poor list maintenance
Less severe than pristine
Recovery more straightforward
Recovery implications:
Pristine hits require proving list source legitimacy
Recycled hits require demonstrating improved hygiene
Both require cleaning suspect lists
Hitting counterfeit detection (pristine) is worse than expired permit issues (recycled).
