Brevo bounce handling

i sent my first fluenctcrm campaign today to a fresh optin list volume of 434 users that exceeded my Brevo free daily credit allowance of 300.

I cannot identify the 134 backlog emails - either in Brevo or in Fluent
I cannot find how to manage the bounced emails

How can i ensure i don't repeat waste emailing bounced addresses?

Why is there no bounce handling for Brevo, previousy SendInBlue ?

Without this function the whole setup is somewhat suboptimal.

I've delved throughout Fluent settings and the SMTP settings and logs but cannot find anything and the Facebook Fluent Page does not seem to offer any solution to what is a fundamental issue.

Any guidance?

i've since found within the email logs of Brevo how to filter the sent list recipients by type of bounce, but it does not seem to transfer/report this info in fluentcrm Wordpress dashboard. If you know, do share your knowledge - thanks

why not use another SMTP?

Sella YoffeΒ well i assumed given it was offered that it would be complete because to me it's fundamental otherwise any scaling of campaigns becomes near impossible. I already had to switch to Brevo as AWS denied me exit of their Sandbox after the long setup process. I don't know if it's due to an incomplete Fluent offering or one from Brevo, i fear it's the former because Brevo shows bounces in their dashboard.

Brevo is a wonderful platform. Their SMTP is typically used for transactional emails. With FluentSMTP, you can route different email streams through different SMTP servers. You can continue using Brevo for transactional emails; however, I can recommend other providers for marketing emails. There are many options, such as Mailgun, SendGrid, SocketLabs, Bird, Mailjet, and others.

I agree. Brevo is one of the most used service, bounce handling must be implemented.
