Email 1 of 5 skipped due to communication limits - Do they receive other emails in a drip flow?

Hello, 

I have a smart campaign, that is NOT in an engagement program, that sends multiple emails with wait steps. 

If the member of the program doesn't receive the first email in the flow due to daily communication limits, they won't receive the others correct?

Just a quick addition to make it work: If you add a choice to step 6 to say If Email Was Delivered, specifying your first email to send and set the Default to Do Nothing it would work as you describe.

And of course you can do that for all of the following Send Email flow steps to ensure the previous email was actually delivered.

I would opt for Delivered rather than Email Was Sent, as it gives you more certainty the email actually reached the recipient.

They certainly will get the others, since you haven't put any logic in to the contrary!

True! However, there's still a missing ingredient here. Implicitly exiting someone from a flow because they went over Comm Limits on a single day seems overly punitive. The flow should be more resilient.
