Hi All,

as the title says, despite double opt-in on my website, about 8% of the emails bounce back as "mailbox unavailable" when sending my newsletters.

Is this normal??
Admittedly, it's been like 6 months I haven't sent out any newsletter, so some of the emails on my list might have become expired, but still I believe 8% is quite a high percentage.

Clean your list, send to existent emails only.
Nothing else to do here. 6 months is some time and 8% is not so bad, believe me.

6 months is a long time. Even legit mails accounts drops.
