| 24 | +## How to add an email address to the blocklist |
| 25 | + |
| 26 | +Manually adding an email address to a domain's blocklist is only available for users who have a Scaleway domain. |
| 27 | +When you add an email to the blocklist, it will remain block indefinitely unless you decide to [unblock it](#how-to-unblock-an-email-adress). |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | +Avoid sending emails to recipients who have unsubscribed from your list. |
| 30 | + |
| 31 | +Exclude addresses identified as inactive or irrelevant. |
| 32 | + |
| 33 | +Addresses added manually will remain blocked until you decide to remove them. |
| 34 | + |
| 35 | +1. Click **Transactional Email** in the **Managed Services** section of the [console](https://console.scaleway.com/) side menu. Your domains display. |
| 36 | +2. Click the domain for which you want to manage the blocklist. An overview of your domain appears. |
| 37 | +3. Click the **Blocklist** tab. |
| 38 | +4. |

| 41 | +## How to manage temporary blocklists |
| 42 | + |
| 43 | +If any of your emails were bounced, you will see a temporary blocklist, with a duration of 48h, with the details of the email that bounced and the reason. Some examples of bounce reasons are: `Mailbox not found`, when mailbox does not exist, and `Mailbox full`, when the mailbox is full. |
| 44 | + |
| 45 | +The temporary blocklist is created automatically to prevent repeated attempts to send e-mails, which could damage your reputation. |
