Bounce Rates
A bounce occurs when a message fails to deliver successfully. There are two types:
Soft Bounces: These are temporary delivery failures, often caused by issues like full mailboxes or temporarily offline mail servers.
Hard Bounces: These represent permanent failures in delivery, signaling issues such as non-existent email addresses, non-existent domain names, or recipients who have blocked delivery.
Examples of hard bounces include:
The email address does not exist on the server.
The domain name is non-existent.
The recipient actively blocked delivery.
How do you avoid high bounce rates?
To prevent disruption in campaigns and to follow our terms, we ask you to keep your bounce rate low. The industry standard for bounce rates is 1%. Here's some tips for avoiding high bounce rates on your campaigns:
Check for email typos: These are very common and can happen easily. Look out for typical errors such as missing letters (e.g., 'gmal' instead of 'gmail') or incorrect letters (i.e., '.con' instead of '.com').
Validate old lists: If your lists are aging, you might find that messages to some email addresses don’t deliver anymore. Your contacts at a particular company might have changed jobs or the company might have gone out of business. You should clean your user list of old, disengaged users once every 6 months. There are a number of great tools you can use to validate email lists, including: Neverbounce, Hunter, and Kickbox.

Maintaining a clean email list
Ensure your list is always up to date with engaged email recipients. Keep a close eye on your email reports, and remove emails who haven't opened any emails or attended any events. Continuing to email disengaged recipients can result in spam complaints.
