We recently noticed a domain reputation warning in our AutoSend dashboard showing a high bounce rate.
This occurred because we were doing internal testing with automated dummy email addresses on our domain, rather than real recipient traffic or users flagging emails as spam. Since these automated test emails bounced on non-existent dummy mailboxes, our bounce rate spiked.
What action should we take from our end to clear or fix this warning?
These warnings are mainly there to help you keep an eye on your domain reputation and catch unexpected delivery issues early.
In this case, since the bounces are coming from your internal testing with dummy email addresses, there’s no specific action you need to take right now.
As you start sending more emails to healthy, valid recipient email addresses, these bounce metrics should naturally come down, and your overall domain reputation will move back toward healthy.
