Adjusting soft bounce settings

Adjusting soft bounce settings

You're able to set a threshold for the number of consecutive soft bounces allowed for a contact before they become suppressed in your account.

A lower number helps protect your sending reputation; a higher number helps to avoid suppressing contacts who are only bouncing temporarily.

Steps to adjust the soft bounce setting

  1. Select Contacts > Suppressed contacts from the navigation bar 
  2. In the 'Suppressed contacts' screen, click on the Bounce settings tab
