Hard Bounce interpretation

We have recently integrated out Tess account with WordFly. After our inital list manager pull from Tess(email only). We had a large amount of constituents emails come back as hard bounces. We would like to know how other organizations handle their hard bounces. Do you treat them with an E-Market Restriction, or do you delete their email address from their constituent account? Is there another option we are not considering?

 

Thank you...

  • We don't use the email restrictions on the general tab for bad emails because these apply to the entire Const ID which may have more than one e-address.  Instead we use 1 of the 10 available mail purposes which are email address specific.  One of our mail purposes is called B for Bad Email and we track inactive/bad emails accordingly.  Deleting bad or hard bounced email addresses is probably not a good idea because you will lose that data trail.  You can also check the inactive box on specific email addresses once it is confirmed to be a bad email.
