This article will help you troubleshoot bounces you've found in your mailbox. While we are unable to provide any more information than what that server gave us, we can help you understand the errors you're seeing in some cases. Each email provider gets to define their own conditions for bouncing, how much information they share in the error, and what error codes they use. The error you see in bounces is the exact error provided by the recipient server. Emails that bounce later, where the recipient mail server accepts an email from you and sends a bounce later, will be email notifications you'll see in your mailbox. Immediate bounces for emails you send from Help Scout, where the recipient's email server will not accept the email at all, will show in the Needs Attention folder where you can see the error they gave and take further action. There are 2 ways you might be alerted to an email that has bounced in Help Scout. In email-speak, a bounce happens when your recipient's server rejects your email - meaning the email you sent to your customer won't make it to your customer.
