Direct complaints to Mailchimp, anti-spam organisations or hosting facilities can result in denylisting of sending domains or IPs. Suspension reasons are surfaced under Account History and emailed to the primary contact. SMS registration requires EIN business verification, and a BBB complaint (April 2026) alleges documents (CP-575/SS-4) were demanded after payment that are not published as requirements.
