Why don't I receive VTEX emails?
Why don't I receive VTEX emails?
Published on 1/22/2018

VTEX sends emails to your store's users in some scenarios, like the confirmation of data export, sending a spreadsheet import with error logs, or sending a user's authentication token.

If you are not receiving VTEX emails, check these possible reasons:

  1. Confirm if the sender is working. If you are using a custom sender, make a test in the sender list in your VTEX Admin, by accessing Store Settings > Email Templates > Senders. The module will try to send an email using the configured credencials and will return an image with the result.

  2. If you are using a SMTP server of your own, we recommend to change it to the VTEX default.

  3. Check your SPF configuration and your spam box. Emails may be dropping in it by your server mail rules.

  4. Check if the email address field is correctly filled in the payments' settings. In your VTEX Admin, go to Store Settings > Payment > Settings and click the Notifications tab. If the field is empty, the emails will not be sent.

  5. Investigate if the email fell into the AWS suppression list.

The AWS suppression list

Amazon SES maintains a suppression list of recipients that recently caused a sudden bounce leap for any Amazon SES customer. This is an automatic operation performed by Amazon and does not mean that the email will remain on a blacklist.

This can occur because the provider who sent the email is being used maliciously by other users. Read here the information provided by AWS regarding this list.

If you have already tried all the possible reasons and still have no result, your email is probably on the AWS suppression list. In this case, please contact our support to request the removal of the email from this list.
