What is Hard Bounce?

A hard bounce is a type of bounce that occurs when an email is returned to the sender because it was permanently rejected by the recipient's mail server. This typically happens when the email address is invalid, the domain does not exist, or the recipient's mail server has blocked delivery.


Reasons for a hard bounce:





Invalid email address: The email address does not exist or is misspelled.

Non-existent domain: The domain of the email address is no longer active or was never registered.

Blocked by recipient server: The recipient's mail server has blocked emails from your domain or IP address.


It's important to regularly clean your email lists to minimize hard bounces, as they can negatively affect your sender reputation.
