Hi there, I am looking for feedback from the forum on a good resource for up to date bounce matching rules. I'd like to share below what we are currently using. If anyone has any obvious suggestions or modifications to it, please add to this thread. Or if you know of any other good resources online with this information, that is kept up to date, please also share.
