Why It Matters for Sender Reputation

A temporary email delivery failure caused by a full mailbox, server downtime, or message size limits. Understanding this concept is essential for maintaining good email deliverability and protecting your domain's sender reputation.

How It Works

Deliverability factors determine whether your email reaches the inbox or gets filtered to spam. Monitoring and optimizing these factors is key to maintaining a strong sender reputation.

Practical Example

When configuring your email sending infrastructure, paying attention to bounce (soft) is critical. A misconfiguration or oversight in this area can lead to decreased deliverability, increased spam filtering, or even blacklisting.
