# Remove a suppressed address

Allow mail to an address again.

`DELETE /suppressions/{id}`

## DELETE /suppressions/{id}

Allow mail to an address again.

## Example

Needs `settings:write`. Only a complaint or a manual entry can be removed, and removing one fires `suppression.removed`.

**curl**

```
curl -X DELETE "$OE/suppressions/7b1e2c3d-4f5a-4b6c-8d7e-9f0a1b2c3d4e" -H "$AUTH"
```

**Response**

```
{
  "object": "suppression",
  "id": "7b1e2c3d-4f5a-4b6c-8d7e-9f0a1b2c3d4e",
  "email": "ada@example.com",
  "deleted": true
}
```

> A hard bounce answers 409 `suppression_not_removable` and stays, because the address could not take mail. Check it is spelled right and send to the corrected one instead.

> A key limited to particular addresses or domains is refused, as it is for adding.
