# Get recipient suppression

`GET /suppressions/{email}`

Checks one exact recipient against Sequenzy's local bounce and complaint safeguards and the regional Amazon SES account-level suppression list. The lookup does not expose unrelated recipients from the shared SES account.

## Path parameters

- `email` string, email, required

## Query parameters

- `region` string

## Response `200`
