Go to the My Account section and open the Settings submenu
Select Preferences. The preferences dialog opens up.
To set preferences for bounces: click the Bounce policy tab. You will be able to set preferences for hard bounces and soft bounces.
Figure: Default bounce policy settings. If an address bounces a message 3 times, this contact will be added to the unsubscribers list. In case of 3 soft bounces, no action happens. You define first the action that should happen to the addresses that bounce.
You have the choice between:
no action: no action will happen on the contacts that bounced.
unsubscribing: the contacts that bounced are added to the unsubscribers list. The will never receive any e-mail from your account anymore.
removing: the contacts that bounced are deleted from your contacts database.
-
Then you define the number of bounces after which the contact should be removed or unsubscribed. If you choose 3 bounces, e.g. the contact will only be unsubscribed/removed after the third message that bounces at his address.
-
Finally, you can still specify whether all bounces or only consecutive bounces should be counted. If you choose only consecutive bounces, the bounce counter will be reset to 0 when a message arrives succesfully at a contact that previously bounced.
-
Do this for both hard bounces and soft bounces. Remember that soft bounces most of the time are temporary errors, that could be solved at any moment.
