API errors

Address cannot be resubscribed

422 · suppressed_cannot_resubscribe

Why you got this

This address has a spam complaint, a bounce, or a suppression added by hand on record, so it cannot be mailed.

What to do

Do not retry, and do not treat this as a duplicate contact. Tell your user the address cannot be mailed. Only a suppression added by hand can be removed, and only by the account owner, from Suppressions in the app.

How it arrives

Every failure on the API is an RFC 7807 problem document, sent asapplication/problem+json. Branch on type — or on its last segment, which is the code above — rather than ontitle or detail, which are prose and may be reworded.
