Noob here (with his own mail server so I'm not familiar with these kinds of issues). What's the problem with a bounce? You pay for the delivery attempt anyway I assume, why do they care?
- oriki 5y agoMostly to do with making sure their service isn't being used for spam, to protect reputation. Bad reputation can mean blacklisting which is a bad time when your service is centralized on emails.
- Aachen 5y agoSure, but how would allowing bounces lead to being used for spam? If it bounces, that means the mail was not delivered. Why are these errors bad for a reputation? It doesn't even matter whether the mail was spam or not, since it wasn't delivered anyway. That's what I don't get, of course I know they're trying to keep their reputation good.
