You need to enter a support ticket to have Atlassian look at domains you suspect are being blocked/suspended. I will typically check the few things in my control first just to make sure it's not on my end. These are things like email client settings, email server settings, DNS and dmarc.

I would ask Atlassian Support to give you an overview of why/how they suspend domains, and what to do to avoid this. And maybe Atlassian Support could write an article for us to help everyone avoid this going forward.

body: Hi Santhosh,

My understanding is that invite emails especially get sent before the email account is fully setup on the customer end. When that happens, Atlassian gets a response back that this is not a valid account. So it goes onto the suppression list. It might appear to be whole domains sometimes because multiple invites have gone out at the same time and the new user email accounts have not been fully setup.

This happened at my last org because we thought the invite would just be there whenever we got the email going and didn't pay attention to the order we did when onboarding new employees in the company. Once we learned this, we never sent a Jira invite until the email user account was fully ready to go. We never had another user end up on the suppression list.

This can also happen if the user changes their email address or something else happens on the customer's end to cause the email account to look like it is currently invalid for some reason.

Having said that, you need to open a support ticket with Atlassian to have them check if the email address is on the suppression list.

body: [@Santhosh Raj](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5283233) There are some times the emails domains are bounced for different reasons and someone form Atlassian "do the trick" to get them back working.

body: That's not an acceptable answer.


author: Nicolas Grossi
body: [@John Funk](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/7148) Why? Because of the expression "do the trick" ?


author: John Funk
body: There's no real information there. It is very vague about the actual cause/problem and the solution. It sounds like an Atlassian fairy will just show up and fix it.
