What is the "Soft Bounces" report?

This report shows the number of temporarily undeliverable email addresses.

There are a number of reasons why an email will soft bounce but generally this is because of Server issues or mailbox full replies. How many times an email is allowed to bounce before being unsubscribed is on the Bounce Thresholds tab set under Contacts > Suppressed Contacts.

Drilling down on this report will display all the email addresses which have soft bounced.
