Hi, By hard-fail and soft-fail do you mean the difference between a permanent failure (such as user does not exist) and temporary failure (mailbox is full). These types of failures are different from bounces. The difference is whether or not the mail server accepts responsibility for delivering the message.
A bounce is when the mail server says "I said I would deliver the message, but for some reason cannot deliver it", whereas a the permanent and temporary failures are when the mail server says "I know I cannot deliver this message accept this message because...". When you say "I need to deal with...", in what respect? Are you trying to send the appropriate bounces, or are you trying to detect when you receive them so you can flag a message as unsent?
