Classified Bounces List

Article Preview

    Overview

    Mailgun Optimize's Bounce Classification feature helps to identify critical bounces that lower your email reputation and cause other problems with your sending. The feature not only classifies these bounces by sending domain and mailbox provider/spam filter but also provides the relevant error message as well as recommended solution.

    As such, we term a bounce processed by this feature as a Classified Bounce. Because the email landscape is always changing, the bounces we classify are also dynamic. This article will provide you with the most up-to-date information regarding the current list of classified bounces.
