The major types of Bounces are soft bounces and hard bounces.
Email bounces are treated as hard when the addresses are,
Hard bounces can be reduced using the following methods.
Soft bounces occur when a recipient is not available or the mail is getting blocked at the recipient's end. The mailbox provider or ISP will return a bounce code back to the sender. Soft bounces are a usually indicator of message content quality and relevance.
Normally Soft bounces occurs for,
Major reasons people may complain about your messages are:
The Spam complaint rate can be reduced by,
In simpler words, SPF or Sender Policy Framework is a security mechanism created to prevent someone from sending mails in your name. The Mechanism is all about the communication between DNS Servers.
Through SPF, a domain may explicitly authorize the hosts that are allowed to use its domain name. SPF works by publishing DNS resource records that declare which hosts are allowed to use a domain name. The receiving mail server checks the SPF records from the domain identified as sending the email to verify that the source IP which the email originated from is authorized to send email from that domain.
An SPF record is of the form:
v=spf1 +mx a:xog.example.com/28 ~all
Each qualifier has its own meaning.
Domain Keys Identified Mail (DKIM) standard has been created for the same reason as SPF: to prevent the bad guys from impersonating you as an email sender. It's a way to additionally sign your emails in a way that will allow the recipient's server check if the sender was really you or not.
With DKIM, a signer can cryptographically sign an email message for a domain, claiming responsibility for its authenticity. The recipient verifies the signature by querying the signing domain for the public key to confirm that the signature was encrypted by the appropriate private key. DKIM-Signatures are generated by code which the signer adds to the appropriate agent.
The whole idea is based on encrypting and decrypting the additional signature, put in the header of your message. To make that possible, you need to have two keys:
Domain-based Message Authentication Reporting & Conformance, briefed as DMARC is an email verification method that lets you form policies on who can send emails using your domain. This procedure works in such a way that if the DKIM and SPF fail to perform, DMARC will trigger action.
A feedback loop authorises senders to receive warning messages from users who complained or reported them as spam.
Email addresses that are invalid or don't exist are used by internet service providers, anti-spam organizations, and blacklist operators to evaluate the sender reputation and identify spammers.
