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. 1. Check billing and review status

    1. Profile > Billing: pay the balance if the button appears.
    2. Check the Dashboard for a Compliance review notice; sending resumes after it ends.

  2. 2. Check the message and recipients

    1. Open Email Marketing > Newsletters and check the status (Scheduled, Sending) or look in Drafts.
    2. Time Travel and Perfect Timing sends can take up to 24 hours.
    3. Use Advanced search with the Message sent condition to see whether the contact received it.
    4. Check inactive contacts for a bounce or unsubscribe.

  3. 3. Fix the from address

    1. Use an address on your own domain instead of Gmail, Yahoo or AOL.
    2. Set up DKIM and DMARC for that domain; Gmail and Yahoo (from February 2024) and Microsoft (from April 2025) require authentication from bulk senders.

  4. 4. Ask recipients to allow your mail

    1. Ask them to check all folders and add your from address to their address book.
    2. 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.
    3. Still stuck: send Customer Success the message name, list, and example affected addresses.

  • Compliance review in progress
  • From address on a public domain (Gmail, Yahoo, AOL) with a DMARC warning
  • Message still Scheduled, Sending, or saved as a Draft
  • Contact hard bounced, unsubscribed or removed
  • Recipient-side filtering
