Bounced Email
There are several reasons why an email message might not be delivered, or bounce. Some are temporary and result in soft bounces. Others can be the result of permanent issues and result in hard bounces. A hard bounce generates the Failed -invalid address campaign response.
If an email address generates a hard bounced response, NetSuite restricts its inclusion in subsequent campaigns for 30 days or 90 days. The day length depends on whether DKIM and an email domain are set up. Attempts to send to the bounced address before the time elapses results in an unsent message, and the campaign response: Failed -invalid address.
