Short answer

How can I use AI to find email bounce issues?

Your AI pulls recent bounce data and delivery statistics to pinpoint exactly which domains or addresses are causing trouble. You'll get a clear breakdown of why emails are failing and which parts of your list need cleaning.

Where your data lands.

The outcomes of your analysis.

The AI categorizes every bounce and stat into these four outcomes.

CLEANUP

Invalid address list

The AI identifies hard bounces and invalid recipients. You get a list of addresses to remove from your mailing list.

REPUTATION

Domain health report

The AI flags specific domains that are repeatedly rejecting your mail. This helps you spot if a provider is blocking you.

TRENDS

Delivery patterns

The AI compares recent bounce rates against your total outbound volume. You'll see if your delivery health is improving or dropping.

ACTION

Human review needed

The AI flags suspicious spikes in bounce rates that don't match typical patterns. You decide if these require a manual investigation.

The workflow

What your AI does when the data arrives.

Instead of you digging through logs, your AI does the heavy lifting.

  1. Fetch bounce logs

    The AI pulls the most recent list of failed deliveries from your account.

    list_bounces

  2. Check delivery health

    The AI looks at your overall success rates to see if bounces are a growing problem.

    get_delivery_stats

  3. Compare volume

    The AI looks at how many emails you've actually sent to put the bounce numbers in context.

    get_outbound_stats

  4. Identify bad domains

    The AI groups failures by domain to find patterns in provider rejections.

FAQ

How this task behaves.

  • 01

    Can the AI delete bounces from my Postmark account?

    No. The AI can only read your bounce and delivery data. It cannot modify or delete any records in Postmark.

  • 02

    Can the AI fix my email reputation automatically?

    No. The AI identifies the problems and tells you what is happening, but you must take the manual steps to clean your lists or change your sending habits.

  • 03

    How far back can the AI look at my bounce data?

    The AI can look back as far as your Postmark account history allows through the available tools.

  • 04

    Does the AI see my actual email content?

    No. The AI only accesses delivery statistics and bounce metadata like error codes and recipient domains.

  • 05

    Can I use this to send emails?

    No. This specific task is for analyzing delivery failures and stats, not for sending outbound mail.
