ActiveCampaign Account Under Review or Sending Paused
Quick answer
While an account is under review, campaigns will not send until you answer compliance. Triggers include spam complaints, bounces, payment problems and unverified opt-in lists.
Most likely fix: Respond to the review email immediately
