If a client chooses to engage in this manner, they will experience higher spam complaints, poor sender reputation, and potential IP blocking from major ISPs. Mirabel Technologies reserves the right to temporarily suspend or terminate a client engaging in these practices
To avoid this, our marketing team recommends organic list building through strategic lead generation and conversion campaigns. Traditional marketing tactics, such as exchanging business cards or connecting on a professional network, are also appropriate strategies to build an email list.
