- Check the syntax of email addresses before save its on your database. You can use regular expression control for example to be sure that there are “@” symbol on the email address.

Moreover a recipient who never opened or clicked on an email can be a risk for you. He can mark as spam your send or remove his mailbox..
Even if you want to keep on your base these email addresses, don’t forget to flag the email addresses as bounce to stop sending messages to these email addresses. By applying this action, you prevent your reputation.
