What is a failed email?

When you get mail from a “MAILER-DAEMON” or a “Mail Delivery Subsystem” with a subject like “Failed Delivery” or similar, it means that an email you sent was undeliverable and has been “bounced” back to you. The most common reason for a failed delivery is that the email address you entered isn’t valid.

How do you know if an email failed to send?

The recipient never got the email you sent If the email isn’t there, you might have deleted it before you sent it. Ask the recipient to check their Junk or Spam. If it’s there, have them add you to their contacts so the next email goes through. Wait a few hours to see if you get a delivery error message.

Why is email undeliverable?

If bounced emails are in the “Undeliverable” category, that means that the receiving email server is temporarily unavailable, was overloaded, or couldn’t be found. A server that can’t be found could have crashed or been under maintenance, so this may just mean waiting to send the email to the address again.
