 ## What happens to automatically configured DNS records when I delete a domain in the Transactional Email service?
 
-When a domain is removed from Scalway's Transactional Email platform, [autoconfigured DNS records](/transactional-email/how-to/autoconfigure-domain/) are not automatically deleted in the Domains & DNS section. If you no longer use the domain for sending emails, you must manually delete or modify these records. It is recommended to verify the associated DNS records to ensure they are correctly configured or removed.

+## How to monitor temporary blocklists
+
+If any of your emails bounced, you will see a temporary blocklist entry, with a duration of 48 hours, containing the details of the email that bounced and the reason, or flag. Some examples of bounce reasons are:
+
+  - `Mailbox not found` - when mailbox does not exist
+  - `Mailbox full` - when the mailbox is full.
+
+The temporary blocklist entry is created automatically to prevent repeated attempts to send emails, which could damage your reputation.
+
+To see the blocklist:
+
+1. Click **Transactional Email** in the **Managed Services** section of the [console](https://console.scaleway.com/) side menu. Your domains display.
+2. Click the domain whose blocklist you want to manage. An overview of your domain appears.
+3. Click the **Blocklist** tab. Your blocklist displays, detailing the recipient email, the flags, the date the block began, and when it ends.
+
+<Message type="tip">
+  You can [create webhooks](/transactional-email/how-to/create-webhooks) for the following blocklist events:
+    - `email_blocklisted` - An email was blocked by an active blocklist.
+    - `blocklist_created` - A blocklist was created for an email address. Any new emails sent by the address will be blocked.
+
+  By setting up a blocklist webhook, you can track changes to your blocklist in real time.

+
+## How to unblock an email address
+
+You can unblock any address that was added to the blocklist. This is useful in cases where:
+
+- A temporary error has been corrected. The recipient has freed up space in their mailbox, for example.
+- An address becomes valid again after an update.
+
