One of my accounts that has been sending via Klaviyo for years and is only sending to a very engaged user list has seen a sudden spike in bounces particularly from apple accounts like @me @mac and @icloud

 

See screenshot of the email performance in the last 30 days. Anyone else seeing this? Any advice? These are soft bounces. What should I check to find out why this is happening?

Hi @laurenwebby,

Thanks for sharing this question with the community.

I recommend reviewing my colleague’s post below - it contains a discussion on how and why soft bounces occur and also contains some helpful link discussing similar topics:

If you still have questions after reviewing those threads, you may want to get in touch with our support team. We have a deliverability department that will be able to take a deep dive into your particular account to assist further if need be.

Hi, something similar is happening to us, there have been peaks in the past but during the last few days it’s becoming a trend. 

 

Even highly engaged subscribers are bouncing, like the image below:

 

A 40% of the accounts are mac.com, icloud.com and me.com, but the there’s still a 60% for other domains.

I contacted support 2 days ago and they checked the DNS configuration looked correct, I followed up yesterday and this morning with more information but haven’t received an answer yet.

I’ve checked most of the post related to this topic in the forums, I wonder if the issue is either on Sendgrid or Klaviyo servers since this is happening to more people? 

 

Thanks,

Juan

Hi @juanmunoz,

Thanks for checking in here.

I recommend awaiting a reply from our team (they will get back to you, I promise) because they will be able to give you deeper insight into the reasons behind the bounces by looking into your specific deliverability-related settings in addition to other 3rd parties that may be involved in the matter. If it is indeed a trend across Klaviyo accounts, I will relay that communication here as well.

Hi - Wanted to post a follow up. We discovered why the bounces were occurring. The web dev team had updated/renewed the SSL for the website and this as a result changed something in the dedicated send domain. This caused our domain to be flagged. Once this was updated everything improved. Hope this helps someone in the future.
