Frequently asked questions
Why is bounce rate critical for cold email?
Google and Microsoft monitor bounce rates closely. A bounce rate above 2% immediately damages domain reputation and causes subsequent emails to land in spam.
What is the live bounce forwarding code?
OutSends provides a unique tracking forward address (e.g. [email protected]) that automatically captures bounce notifications directly from your mail server.
Are bounced emails removed from future campaigns?
Yes. Bounced contacts are automatically added to your suppression list to prevent future sends.
