Definition of an Email Bounce
The definition of what an email bounce means.
A bounced email is one that is sent out but never reaches it's receipt and is therefore sent back. This can be because of a number of reasons. Most commonly the reason is that the email address is not correct or doesn't exist. But sometimes if the computer server for which the email is sending to is busy or not responding this can cause the email to "bounce back".
A bounced email is similar to the post office putting return to sender on a piece of mail because an address doesn't exist.
