 * Hello,
 * I´m noticing a strange behavior with the emails that are bouncing.
 * First of all, I have set up an email address to receive all the bounces. So every
   time I send a newsletter, I receive all the bounced email addresses here.
 * The weird part is that when I look at the subscribers that have bounced, Mailpoet
   also reports that they have opened the email.
 * If this is true, then it means that the subscribers are actually receiving the
   newsletter (otherwise, why would Mailpoet say that they have opened it?)
 * If this is so, then why do I receive bounce emails from these addresses?
 * They shouldn´t bounce if they are actually receiving my newsletter, correct?
 * Can you explain this to me?
 * What is happening here?
 * thanks for the support!!
 * Cheers!!

 * Hi [@andresito](https://wordpress.org/support/users/andresito/),
 * as we’ve already replied to you, we are not sure why this is happening. We assume
   the email server in charge of bouncing back the email is actually accessing (
   aka reading) the newsletter, thus triggering the opens.

 * Hi,
 * thanks for the reply!
 * But,
 * Does this mean that people are not actually receiving and opening the emails?
 * Thanks for the help!
 * Cheers!
