A SES (Simple Email Service) bounce type and subtype!

In SES, a bounce is an email that is returned to the sender because it cannot be delivered to the recipient's email address. The bounce type and subtype provide more information about why the email was bounced.

Here's what you're asking about:

Bounce Type: Permanent

A permanent bounce, also known as a hard bounce, occurs when an email address is invalid or does not exist. This type of bounce is permanent because the email address is not valid and cannot be delivered to the recipient.

Bounce Subtype: General

The general bounce subtype is a catch-all category for permanent bounces that do not fit into more specific categories. This subtype is used when the bounce reason is not specific enough to be classified into a more detailed category.

Some examples of general bounce reasons include:

• The recipient's email address is invalid or does not exist.
• The recipient's email account has been closed or is no longer active.
• The recipient's email server is down or unavailable.

When you receive a permanent bounce with a general subtype, it's likely that the email address is invalid or no longer active, and you may want to remove it from your mailing list to prevent future bounces.
