Depending on the type of bounces you are receiving, it is possible that a bounce can have a negative impact on your sender reputation. Hard bounces are permanent errors that often signify the sender is employing poor practices, such as list purchasing, bad list hygiene, or a bad opt-in funnel. As hard bounces are something that the sender can control, elevated hard bounces will affect the sender’s reputation. 

Meanwhile, soft bounces are caused by  a temporary error (e.g., full inbox) that is out of the sender’s control. Thus, soft bounces are often forgiven and don’t strongly impact your reputation.
