More about this metric
There are three types of email bounces: hard bounces, soft bounces, and pending bounces. A hard bounce usually means a permanent problem such as an invalid email address, whereas soft and pending bounces generally indicate temporary problems or outages.
Email Soft Bounces are temporary problems, and in many cases the email may eventually be delivered to the recipient. However, if you notice that you receive soft bounces repeatedly from a particular email address, it may be better to classify that address as an Email Hard Bounce.
