When troubleshooting why an email was not sent to a portion of the audience, it's important toconsider several factors beyond unsubscribes or held statuses. Bounced contacts from previous sends could be a significant reason why emails are not delivered. Bounces occur when an email cannot be delivered to an email address, which could be due to various reasons like an invalid email address or the recipient's mailbox being full.

A key differentiator for requiring a dedicated IP address is the sending volume. When an organization sends more than 250,000 emails per month, it benefits from a dedicated IP to establish a consistent sender reputation, which can improve deliverability rates and sender reputation management.
