Invalid addresses: These addresses might be closed or the clients are no longer using it. Sending to such email id leads to hard bounce. Wash out such addresses from the list.

Spelling mistakes: Sending emails newsletters to email addresses with spelling mistakes of the given addresses. This can be rectified by checking, correcting and resending the email newsletter..

Generic email addresses: These are the addresses which are not used by the individual; it is addressed to the organisation or individual department. For example: admin@domain.com, sales@domain.com, avoid such email addresses from your list.

List segmentation: Segment unsubscribes clients from your list to avoid increase of spam rates. If you send your newsletter with your poorly segmented list, then your sales ratio will come to the bottom line and your bounce rates increases drastically.
