Hard Bounced emails - A permanent error that can be caused by invalid email addresses, disabled inboxes, or if a domain doesn't exist.
Because we know how important it is for your content to reach your subscribers' inboxes, Kajabi helps you manage your Hard Bounced contacts and improve your email deliverability by automating the process of unsubscribing your Hard Bounced emails.
