Email Delivery: Unblocking Handshake Email

Liz Gehret
  • Updated

Handshake maintains highly reputable emailing domains to ensure that emails are delivered. However, email delivery can sometimes fail due to the various systems in between Handshake and students which are designed to prevent email abuse. In order to maintain high deliverability, Handshake monitors and acts on spam scores, domain blocking, IP throttling and more.

In addition to unblocking IPs and domains, please identify any internal limitations you may have with receiving email and surface them to your Handshake Relationship Manager.
(e.g. 5k rate limit for recipients every hour)
