I'm just going to assume a hard bounce is like a really strong trampoline, and a soft bounce is more like a marshmallow. Makes sense to me!

This question is as clear as mud. I'm just going to guess and hope for the best. At least I'll get a free t-shirt if I win, right?

Wait, I'm confused. Is a hard bounce when the email gets caught in a spam filter? I thought that was a soft bounce. This is making my head spin!

Okay, I've got this. A hard bounce is when the email server rejects the message, while a soft bounce is when the email address is temporarily unavailable. Simple, right?

Hmm, this is a tricky one. I think the key difference is that a hard bounce means the email address is permanently invalid, while a soft bounce is a temporary issue that might resolve itself.

Yes, that's right. Hard bounces are more serious because they indicate a permanent issue with the email address.

So, a hard bounce means the email address is permanently invalid, while a soft bounce is a temporary issue that might get resolved. Got it!
