My emails are soft bouncing

Yesterday, email to myself started soft bouncing and they still are today. I am trying to test campaigns but the emails aren't getting to my inbox. However, when I send myself a test it's working fine. This has never happened to me before, any ideas?

The tokens could be causing a problem if the token values return a blank value.  For example if the token is referring to a field in SFDC/CRM that is not populated and the token default value=blank, it could be a problem.

Make sure all the token default values are not blank and try it again.

Also, what soft bounce messages are you getting?

What sort of bounce message are you seeing? Are you using tokens in your to/from/subject line?

I was trying to test my webinar setup so the message was just an auto reply "thanks for reg" type message. I am using tokens in the from and reply-to and subject lines. Is this messing it up?
I'm pretty sure this worked and was delivered to me last week.

Thanks Andy. I totally forgot to fill in one of the values (uggg). This fixed it :)
