How to deal with employees that are flagged as having an incorrect email address

To ensure our emails are not flagged as spam, we track any errors while attempting delivery. There are 2 types - "soft bounces" (i.e. a temporary email error, for example, the mailbox is full) and "hard bounces" (i.e. a permanent email error, for example, the mailbox doesn't exist).

We ignore "soft bounces" as they will be resolved at some point but if we receive a "hard bounce", we block the employee account from receiving any further emails.

How to check for incorrect emails

1. Login to your Administrator account
2. Click on the Employees tab
3. Select the Employees option
