Bounce Backs

A bounce back email is an email that has been sent back to the server to that sent the email. Email bounces are generally called a "hard bounce" or a "soft bounce."

A hard bounce means the email could never get through to the intended recipient because, for example, the domain name doesn't exist or the specific recipient at that domain doesn't exist.

A soft bounce means the email didn't get through this time for some temporary reason, for example a full mailbox or the recipient's mail server is down.
