Bounced Contacts

Bounced emails refer to those emails which are not sent to the recipients. The email is generated by the sender but due to various reasons, the email is not sent to the recipient.

When does a contact gets bounced?

There are various reasons for the email to bounce back. The reasons are listed below.

  • The recipient email address does not exist. This may be because the entered email address has some typo or the recipient has left the particular organization.
  • The recipient’s inbox is full. If this is the case, then the email will not reach the recipient.
  • The recipient’s server is busy or under maintenance. Hence, the email has bounced back to the sender.
  • If the recipient has blocked a particular email address from which the emails are sent, then the email will not reach their inbox.
