{% hint style="warning" %}
**The most reliable way to cancel a broadcast in progress is always to purge broadcast mail from the backend customer account menu.**
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="danger" %}
Clicking "Cancel" in the Actions button from the broadcast page will cancel a broadcast sent through Velocity MTA, but may not be able to cancel a broadcast sent through an API or SMTP Relay connection depending on the state of the data transfer at that time.
{% endhint %}
