What is a bounce email?

When users want to handle bounce emails in the system.

When an email message cannot be delivered to an email address, it's called a bounce.

There are lots of different reasons why emails bounce so when it happens, a message is sent from the recipient's mail server to explain why.

Why you would use bounces handling

  • The system sends many emails for various functions
  • When email sending fails, has a bounce-back reply which can be seen in CRM
  • Staff identify what the issue is with the email (if possible) and edit the contact record

How To Handle Bounces Recommendation

  • We recommend having a stand-alone mailbox for bounce-back email processing because it will produce less time in processing emails
