Omnivore is an abuse prevention program on MailChimp used to reduce suspicious activity mostly coming from lists of subscribers containing a large quantity of bad quality emails.

It makes marketing campaign in general more qualitative but it might block you from sending out content to your audience. 

What is Omnivore?

Omnivore acts like a filter on MailChimp and scans every email list uploaded to the system. It uses an artificial intelligence to find email addresses triggering complaints (bounce, blacklisting). 

What triggers an Omnivore warning?

MailChimp has defined the elements of an email list that will trigger an Omnivore warning, including stale email addresses, unfamiliar email addresses and spam traps.

What to do when you receive an Omnivore warning.

Don’t ignore the warning! It won’t just go away and you won’t be able to resume your email campaign until it’s addressed.
