Failed Status
When a suppression is detected for the specific email thread, the status of the email activity record will be set to Failed and a suppression-related message will be displayed to describe the failure to send the email. Click here for a list of suppression messages and alerts.
The Failed status descriptions are as follows:
suppress-complaint: The email was not delivered to a recipient who had marked your messages as spam.
suppress-bounce: The email was not delivered to a previously bounced address.
suppress-unsubscribe: The email was not delivered to a recipient who has unsubscribed.

The status of the email thread in the Email History reflects the latest result from the Send attempts - Failed, Delivered, Opened, Resent. Note that the status of the email thread isn’t affected (changed) based on the Clear Suppression actions.
