When is an email address considered "emailable" "bad" or "bouncing?"
A:
- Emailable: If "receive emails" is checked, "do not contact, period" is not checked, "bad email" is not checked, and they actually have an email address.
- Bad: If "bad email" is checked, of course. This is checked automatically if the email address is actually invalid, or after sending an email blast the other server tells us that the email address doesn't exist. It is also checked automatically after the 3rd "bounce"
- Bouncing: This means we don't know that the email address is bad yet, but there were problems sending an email to it. The server could be down, the account could be over quota, various issues that could be temporary. If we get 3 of these bounces in a row, it will be considered bad.
