A bounce occurs when your newsletter cannot be received by the intended recipient for any particular reason. Bounces occur in two varieties:
A Hard Bounce happens when the email address you are sending to is no longer valid. This is a permanent issue; therefore, the address is removed from your account automatically and no further action is required on your part.
A Soft Bounce happens when a temporary issue prevents your newsletter from getting through. Typically this occurs from a full inbox or a busy server on the other end. These issues are always temporary and it's best to wait 24-48 hours before attempting to resend your newsletter to those bounced addresses.
