When sending an email to a recipient, it may happen that the receiving server doesn’t accept your email. The email can’t be delivered and bounces.
The receiving server reports back to our system that your email couldn’t be delivered. The causes for bounces can be versatile.
In general, each server can send completely individual bounce messages. There is no standard.
The following overview is a list of the most common bounce feedbacks that reach us:
Wrong Address |
| host is unknown / host not found |
| invalid adress / invalid recipient |
| mailbox not found / mailbox is unavailable |
| no mailbox here by that time |
| no such user |
| recipient e-mail adress unknown |
| user unknown / unknown user |
| said: 550 |
