Read a bounced message
Read a message that comes back and fix it.
A bounce is a report from your own mail service: a message could not be delivered.
Nearly always the address had a letter wrong, and nobody received it.
Key points
- A bounce is your mail service saying a message was not delivered
- The report names the address, and the fault is usually a letter in it
What to remember
- The answer is inside the report.
- A bounce means it never arrived. Check the spelling.
Try this
If a message comes back, read the address in the report aloud, letter by letter.
