GetResponse Emails Not Being Delivered or Sent
Quick answer
Newsletters not reaching contacts are usually caused by an unpaid balance, a compliance review, a free-domain from address, or contacts that are inactive. Check them in that order.
Most likely fix: Check billing and review status
How to fix it
Try these in order — the most common fix is first.
1. Check billing and review status
- Profile > Billing: pay the balance if the button appears.
- Check the Dashboard for a Compliance review notice; sending resumes after it ends.

- Open Email Marketing > Newsletters and check the status (Scheduled, Sending) or look in Drafts.
- Time Travel and Perfect Timing sends can take up to 24 hours.
- Use Advanced search with the Message sent condition to see whether the contact received it.
- Check inactive contacts for a bounce or unsubscribe.
Did this fix it?3. Fix the from address
- Use an address on your own domain instead of Gmail, Yahoo or AOL.
- Set up DKIM and DMARC for that domain; Gmail and Yahoo (from February 2024) and Microsoft (from April 2025) require authentication from bulk senders.
Did this fix it?4. Ask recipients to allow your mail
- Ask them to check all folders and add your from address to their address book.
- Allow GetResponse IP ranges 104.160.64.0/24, 104.160.65.0/24, 104.160.67.128/25, 104.160.68.224/27, 104.160.69.0/26.
- Still stuck: send Customer Success the message name, list, and example affected addresses.
