Bounce Backs
This is when an email does not arrive in the recipient’s mailbox and instead is ‘bounced’ back to the sender with an error message.
Understanding the different types of bounce backs is essential; some can be solved by contacting the person while others require you to write new content.
The main types of bounce backs are:
1) Hard Bounce: The email address no longer exists or recipient email is incorrect.

3) Transient, Message Delayed, DNS Error: There were problems connecting to the person's mail server.
