When a hard bounce result is received during mail delivery, the system registers the recipient email address in the send block list.
- Addresses registered in the list are retained for 7 days (168 hours) by default, and the retention time can be changed.
- Changing the send block retention time applies only to addresses registered afterward, and the retention time of already registered addresses does not change.
A hard bounce means that mail cannot be delivered for a permanent reason, and redelivery attempts will continue to fail. For example, this occurs when mail is sent to an address that does not exist. The delivery result codes classified as hard bounces are as follows.
| Code | Description |
|---|---|
| MAILBOX_ERROR | Sending failed due to recipient mailbox error |
| MAIL_CONTENTS_ERROR | Sending failed due to mail content error |
| NETWORK_ERROR | Sending failed due to network error |
| RECEIVE_MAIL_SERVICE_ERROR | Sending failed due to recipient mail service error |
| RECIPIENT_ADDRESS_ERROR | Sending failed due to recipient address error |
| SECURITY_AND_POLICY_ERROR | Sending failed due to security and policy error |
| SMTP_ERROR | Sending failed due to SMTP error with the recipient side |
If you send mail to an address registered in the send block list, the delivery is blocked and the result code SEND_BLOCK_ADDRESS is returned.
- The send block list is managed commonly across the entire service, not per project.
- When a hard bounce occurs, the recipient email address is registered in the block list regardless of the sending project, and the registered address is blocked in the same way for deliveries from all projects. Deleting an address from the block list also applies to all projects.
