A Customer Administrator deletes all contacts that have been flagged as hard bouncebacks in order to reduce the number of contacts in their database. What happens when one of those contacts is recreated from a list upload?
The contact will be created in Eloqua with only the fields populated from the list upload. Their email status remains as hard bounceback and they will not be able to receive emails from Eloqua. When a contact’s email address is identified as being a hard bounceback, the email address status changes from Valid to Invalid. This email status is stored in a separate data table in Eloqua. When a contact record is deleted from the Eloqua database, there is still an entry in the EmailAddress table which contains email compliance data, such as subscription and bounceback status. When a new contact is created in Eloqua with an email address in the EmailAddress table, the associated status is applied to the new contact record and only the fields populated from the list upload are written to the newly created contact record.

Emails, landing pages and forms
