Email Delivered and Email Bounced for same Email

Hi ,

I was checking the lead activity log and found the below activities:

Jun 7th: Email Bounced

Jun 7th: Delivered Email

Jun 7th : Send Email

How Marketo is receiving both Delivered and Bounced token together at same time for same asset?

Thanks

You should go by the disposition of the bounce.  In Marketo reporting that is considered to be a bounce at the end of the day, not a delivery.

Delivery means the initial SMTP connection to the recipient's MX was successful.

A bounce can occur at a second hop ("out-of-band") between the MX and subsequent servers. This is generally due to poor configuration of the recipient's infrastructure, but it does happen.

Hi Sanford Whiteman,

Thanks for the reply. So shall I consider the lead email id as valid?

So why doesn't Marketo mark the email as Bounced = True?
