Hello,

I ran an email campaign today morning and it soft bounced for every member of the list.

What could be the possible reason ?

Possible causes would include, but not limited to, tokens in the From, To or Subject lines, often when it has default = (blank) or reading values from SFDC fields before they have values assigned.

What is the campaign name?

Email is also delivered normally to you ( leadId=409)
 
Activity Details – ID 3570359
 
The Results tab is indeed the best reference 
 
In alternative you can create a smart list or reuse test list "mkto_find_soft_bounces"
Filter
Email Bounced Soft
Email is Invite 6_ Webinar Attendess
 
and then inspect each leads for the exact cause.

Please keep in mind a soft bounce is a temporary condition. Marketo will try to deliver again. Repeated failures may turn into hard bounce or set email to suspended

Please review the articles for details

I know that the one time that I had this happen, I had accidentally uploaded a list that didn't have emails in the email column (oops!) So it took a bit for everything to catch up and for me to realize what had happened. Once I figured that out, it was an easy fix. I don't know if that's what happened for you, but sometimes something really easy and simple causes the most annoying problems. :)

Hello Breno Gomes,

I checked today and around 12 out of the 154 emails got delivered but others are still soft bounced. I am waiting to see if other emails get delivered as well.
Looks like some server issue to me.

Hello Amber,

Thank you for the reply. I had checked my list when the emails soft bounced. All the email IDs are there in the list but still they got soft bounced :(

QQ on soft bounces:  If you have "each lead can run through once" selected, the soft bounce won't try to resolve? Is this true and could that be the problem?
