✉️ What Is a Mail Bounce?

When you send an email and it fails to reach the recipient’s inbox, that’s called a "mail bounce." It’s like sending a letter that gets returned to you undelivered.

There are two types of bounces:

1. Hard Bounce – Permanent failure (e.g., invalid email address)

2. Soft Bounce – Temporary failure (e.g., full inbox or server down)

✅ What Is a Non-Bounce Email?

A non-bounce means your email was successfully delivered to the recipient’s inbox. These emails don’t face any delivery issues and are key to the success of email marketing campaigns.

Common reasons include:

• Incorrect or fake email addresses

• Blocked by spam filters
