Mail reject

A "mail reject" occurs when an email is not delivered to its intended recipient due to various reasons. Here are some common causes of mail rejects:

  1. Invalid email address: The email address is misspelled, does not exist, or is not valid.
  2. Domain not found: The domain name of the recipient's email address is not recognized or does not exist.
  3. Mail server issues: The mail server of the recipient's email provider is down, experiencing technical difficulties, or is not configured correctly.
  4. Spam filters: The email is flagged as spam by the recipient's email provider or their email client's spam filter.
  5. Firewall or network issues: The email is blocked by a firewall or network configuration issue.
  6. Email client issues: The email client (e.g., Outlook, Gmail) is not configured correctly or is experiencing technical difficulties.
  7. Quota exceeded: The recipient's email account has exceeded its storage quota, and the email cannot be delivered.
  8. Blacklisting: The sender's IP address or domain is blacklisted, which prevents emails from being delivered to the recipient's email provider.
  9. Authentication issues: The sender's email account is not authenticated correctly, which prevents the email from being delivered.
  10. Content restrictions: The email contains content that is restricted by the recipient's email provider or their email client's settings (e.g., attachments, keywords).
