# Delete an inbound address

> Soft-deletes the address; mail sent to it afterward is dropped like
any other unmatched recipient.




## OpenAPI

````yaml https://www.senderkit.com/openapi.yaml delete /v1/inbound/addresses/{publicId}
openapi: 3.1.0
info:
  title: SenderKit Public API
  version: 1.0.0
  description: >
    Public REST API for SenderKit — send transactional messages (email, SMS,

    push, web push), list message history, and read/render templates.


    ## Authentication

    All endpoints require a Bearer API key:

        Authorization: Bearer sk_live_xxx

    The `sk_live_` / `sk_test_` prefix selects the environment (live vs. test).

    The prefix is only a hint for humans; the secret is the full token. Keys are

    created in the dashboard and shown once at creation.


    ## Sends are asynchronous

    `POST /v1/send` enqueues the message and returns `202` with `status:
    "queued"`.

    Delivery happens out of band; poll `GET /v1/messages` to observe progress.


    ## Rate limits

    All endpoints are rate limited per API key. Sends and reads count against

    separate budgets, so listing messages never competes with sending them.

    A `429` response includes a `Retry-After` header (seconds).
