A soft bounce indicates a delivery issue, where the email could not be delivered to the recipient’s mail server due to a temporary (non-permanent) problem.<\/p>\n
Soft bounces are caused by a temporary problem, so once the problem has been resolved, the recipient will be able to receive the email normally and quickly.<\/p>\n
Each email marketing provider<\/a> handles soft bounces in its own way, but always based on the SMTP response from the destination server. It is common that if an email address keeps returning a soft bounce status after several email marketing campaigns in a row, it ends up being considered a hard bounce (a definitive bounce).<\/p>\n Hard bounces<\/a> are bounces that occur when an email can’t be delivered due to a definitive and permanent problem with the email address it was sent to. You can’t send to these addresses anymore.<\/p>\n Soft bounces, on the other hand, occur when an email can’t be delivered due to a temporary, non-permanent problem with the email address it was sent to. You can still send to these addresses, temporarily.<\/p>\n Although the most common cause of a soft bounce is that the recipient’s<\/a> mailbox is full, there are many different reasons why our email may end up as a soft bounce. Some of the most common reasons for soft bounces are:<\/p>\n1. Hard bounce and soft bounce<\/h2>\n
