- Max Temp Bounces (short for Maximum Temporary Bounces) is only useful for Broadcast Lists and controls the behavior of your list when messages to list members bounce. A "temporary" bounce is something such as an unavailable mail server, an overfull mailbox or another similar delivery failure to which a future delivery may well succeed. If you would like for list entries in this list to be marked as "permanent" bounces after three temporary failures have occured, set this value to three.
