Despite best email marketing practices which teach marketers to send emails from their real email address, many marketers still send campaigns from a "no-reply" email address explaining their behavior by the fact that "the email contains nothing people would want to respond to" or "I don't want to foul my Inbox with auto-replies".
If your account with an email service provider such as MailChimp is suspended, something in your mailing activity is threatening their reputation and they try to protect it by blocking you.
The main reasons why your ESP can suspend your account are:
MailChimp is known to work with an abuse-prevention system to make sure their infrastructure stays healthy and free of activity that violates the CAN-SPAM Act or their Terms.
So, if their abuse-prevention system or human team notices that something about your account or email campaigns raised a red flag, you will find your account suspended by MailChimp.
Below is a list of factors that could cause a red flag with MailChimp:
If you are using a 3rd party email service, for example MailChimp, to send email campaigns and one day you start getting warning messages from it, it means that something about your account or email activity raised a red flag with MailChimp.

Have you ever wondered why some marketing emails arrive straight to the Inbox while others end up in the junk or spam folder? The key factor that determines whether your email is filtered as spam or goes to your subscriber’s inbox is your sender and IP reputation. Though there are other factors, but they are less important.
An email service provider such as Constant Contact, MailChimp, GetResponse, or Aweber can serve well email marketers who want the sending process and all subsequent things such as bounce, unsubscribe, and complaint processing to be carried out by the 3rd party.
