The number of emails that weren’t delivered to recipients’ inboxes.



A hard bounce indicates a permanent reason an email cannot be delivered. In most cases, bounced email addresses are cleaned from your audience automatically and immediately. Cleaned addresses will be excluded from all future campaign sends. Here are some common reasons an email may hard bounce.

- Recipient email address doesn't exist.
- Recipient email server has completely blocked delivery.

Monitoring this metric is crucial for maintaining list hygiene and sender reputation. Addressing hard bounces promptly ensures a clean and responsive subscriber base.

This metric guides marketers in automating list cleaning processes, enhancing deliverability, and optimizing overall email campaign performance.
