A few days ago, I noticed that bounce notifications from Gmail were no longer cryptic plain text emails with SMTP codes and headers, but instead looked far more aesthetically pleasing<\/strong>. So much so, that I now look forward to receiving an otherwise dreaded bounce notification.\u00a0Here is an example of the new Gmail bounce notice in all its glory:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"Google quietly rolled out this enhancement, as there was no mention of it on even the official Gmail blog<\/a>.\u00a0Still, the GMass team welcomes this enhancement. Gmail now translates\u00a0the actual SMTP bounce code into a more readable message that is friendly to a non-techie email user.\u00a0Additionally, if an email bounces because the email has been blocked and not because the email address is invalid, Gmail displays a “stop sign” to help you quickly identify the reason for the bounce:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Remember, if you use GMass to send a mass email campaign, GMass will find all bounces, blocks, and replies and categorize and process them for you as part of its Reply Management<\/a> function. Bounces will be moved into the GMass Reports –> Bounces<\/strong> Label, and block notifications will be moved into the GMass Reports –> Blocks<\/strong> Label. Additionally, GMass stores a list of email addresses that have bounced because the address is invalid, and automatically suppresses these addresses from future mail merge campaigns.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
