Still have Hard Bounced Emails

There are many reasons why you can get hard bounced emails.

bounced emails, return to senderIf you’re IP, domain and email campaign (copy) are clean and you’re still getting bounced e-mails, then most likely your list is not clean or clean enough!

However usually the majority of the time emails bounce back after cleaning is that your IP, Domain or both are dirty and are being blocked by the receiving servers.

Basically the servers bounced emails back as a precaution because they are not accepting anything from your IP or domain. If your IP or Domain is flagged as questionable or spamming then the receiving server simply bounces back any request (or email you send) to their servers.

Most servers also don’t allow emails that are spammy looking (content in body of email) as well so if your spam score is quite high they will also reject your email and bounce it back.

Understand, this has nothing to do with the validity of the email address you sent too. It has everything to do with the message you’re sending, the IP’s and domain you’re sending from as those are the other reasons why you will get bounced emails even though the email address your sending too is clean or deemed Valid.
