WireMail email bounces

[benbyf]

HELLO! I'm sending out quite a few (maybe 500 a day) emails from a site using WireMail. I get quite a few bounces and I'm not really sure how to handle this as i'm starting to worry abou my emailing reputation. Any thoughts?

Please check your mail log to check what are the reasons of those bounces.

also check if your server is blacklisted: https://mxtoolbox.com/blacklists.aspx

maybe you want to use a service for sending your mails: https://www.sparkpost.com/pricing/ (free for < 100.000 mails / month)

In addition, you might want to check out phpmailer. I have been using it for a while, and have not had any issues with it (knock on wood). It was really easy to set up as well.

I'm not really sure if it's worth the hassle to care for own servers' email reputation. Especially when running on a shared hoster or any cloud service your ip is shared with others – on cloud services some other customer might have had the ip before yourself – so the reputation is not only in your own hands. And even if that' not the case it might be easier to pay a service than to spend hours trying to get to the cause of the bounces.
