Bounce is an e-mail that is returned to the sender because it was rejected by the receiving mail server due to various reasons. There are many reasons for the mail to get rejected and we've divided them into three categories:

Soft Bounce - This is a temporary issue where the recipient's mail server rejects the email due to reasons such as

• Recipient's mailbox is likely to be full
• Mail server is temporarily unavailable
• Recipient has closed the email account with the particular provider

Hard Bounce - This is a permanent bounce when the receiving server rejects the email due to the following reasons:

• Invalid email address (typos, domain does not exist)
• Email address is not in existence
• Recipient's mail server has blocked the sending server

Auto Reply - This is a special scenario where the recipient is out of office on account of being away on vacation or other personal reasons. In such cases, the subscriber must have configured an auto reply. Once they are back, they will have a chance to view the email.

Why there is a discrepancy of data between the number of email opens and the user agent stats?

1. We derive our user agent data based on subscriber email opens which helps us to find the subscriber related data such as devices, OS, desktop email clients and web browser details.
2. However, when the email clients such as Google and Yahoo are involved, they suppress the user agent string and change it through their proxy server.
3. Since, we do not receive authentic data from the proxy servers, we remove such user agent data from our stats which leads to a discrepancy between the number of email opens and the user agent stats.
