Setting Up Bounce Handling

Mail Mint helps you automatically detect and manage email bounces so you can keep your contact list clean and maintain strong deliverability.

It uses a set of smart rules to identify bounced emails and extract the recipient’s address, allowing you to either take action or stop sending emails to those contacts.

Before setting up bounce handling, let’s understand why emails bounce.

Why Do Emails Bounce?

Emails can bounce for several reasons, including:

• The recipient’s email address is invalid or incorrectly entered
• The sending IP or domain is blocked
• The email is rejected by the recipient’s server
• The receiving server is temporarily unavailable or overloaded
• The recipient’s mailbox is full
• The sender’s email address is blocked by the recipient
• Auto-responder or server rules interfere with delivery

How Bounce Handling Works?

Mail Mint provides a flexible way to handle bounces through your connected email service provider.

• Mail Mint integrates with supported mailers (like Brevo)
• It can receive bounce data via webhooks or tracking mechanisms
• When a bounce is detected, Mail Mint automatically updates the contact status (e.g., marked as Bounced or Invalid)
• You can view and manage bounced contacts directly from your contact list

You also have full control to manually update or restore a contact’s status at any time.

Select your provider and follow the instructions to properly configure bounce tracking and ensure accurate detection of bounced emails.
