This guide details how failed deliveries work in ExpressMailGuard.

Note: Failed delivery logs are only available to customers subscribed to an ExpressVPN Advanced or Express Pro plan.

The Failed Deliveries section of the ExpressMailGuard dashboard provides you a granular view of bounced or failed emails to help you diagnose missing messages.

It only includes failures where ExpressMailGuard tried to send from our servers to your recipients, including send or reply attempts from your aliases. It does not include messages that failed before reaching ExpressMailGuard from another sender.
