# Create an Auto-Suppression List

To automatically prevent sends to selected contacts, create an auto-suppression list in Email Studio.

![Note](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-mktg-mc_email-264-0-0-production-enus/a0b807ef-dfbb-412c-b26e-310d91f2d6df/images/icon_note.png)

Note Enabling this feature republishes the suppression list changes for the triggered send. Triggered send content isn’t updated. Clear your triggered send queues before enabling. Subscribers in a triggered send queue when this feature is enabled aren’t auto-suppressed. The auto-suppression isn’t applied to the send already in the queue.

1. In Email Studio, click **Admin**.
2. Click **Auto-Suppression Configuration** under Send Management.
3. Click **Create**.
4. Give the list a name and description in the Properties section.
5. Complete the Attributes section.
    
    This section displays the attributes used in your auto-suppression list. This section displays default attributes. Add other values as necessary.
6. Complete sender profiles in the Assignment Section.
    1. Click **Select**.
    2. Select each sender profile that is assigned the auto-suppression list. Search by sender profile name or business unit name.
    3. Click **Select**.
7. Complete a CAN-SPAM classification in the Assignment Section.
    1. Select a classification type of Commercial, Transactional, or Both.
    2. If you have an Enterprise account, assign the suppression list to the enterprise level and every business unit in the enterprise. This assignment includes business units you create in the future, or to specific business units within an enterprise.
8. Click **Save**.
9. Enter the email address that receives a notification email. This notification email sends after all triggered sends assigned to this auto-suppression lists update.
10. Click **Update**.
