What is a bounce message?

Quick answerBeginnerUpdated

Short answer

A bounce is an automatic reply saying a message could not be delivered, and the code in it says why. A 5xx code is permanent — wrong address, or you were rejected — and a 4xx is temporary, so the sending server will keep trying.

This is a general web-hosting explanation, not specific to Traxio.

The useful part is usually one line buried in the technical detail, naming the receiving server’s reason: mailbox full, no such user, or blocked for reputation. Read that line before changing anything.
