You can sort bounces by category, such as hard bounces or soft bounces, and subcategory, such as out-of-office notifications. This can help you to evaluate why your personalized mail is not reaching its intended recipient.

  • If you want to use your own bounce categories, you have created the bounce categories and subcategories in the category modeler.

With informal delivery status notifications (DSNs), the content of the inbound e-mail is checked. The subject field, the body text and the sender address can all be part of the check. You can also define whether a fuzzy search, an exact search, or a linguistic search is performed. You can combine checks in a bounce category.
