When it triggers

This event fires when the recipient’s mail server permanently rejects the email. Common causes include invalid email addresses, full mailboxes, or domain-level blocks.
Bounced addresses are automatically added to the suppression list to protect your sender reputation. Future emails to this address will be blocked.
