KPIs - Group Messages
A
Accepted
Accepted is the number of messages that were accepted by the email provider's Message Transfer Agent (MTA). This includes messages delivered to the inbox as well as to spam and junk folders. Accepted messages are thus all messages that arrived at the client server and did not produce a bounce.
Accepted = Messages Sent - Bounced
Accepted (Comparative Analysis)
Accepted is the average number of messages accepted by the email provider's Mail Transfer Agent (MTA).
Average Accepted = Sum of Accepted messages for all selected messages / Total number of selected messages

Accepted is the number of messages containing this specific link that were accepted by the email provider's Message Transfer Agent (MTA). This includes messages delivered to the inbox, spam, or junk folders. Accepted messages are thus all messages that arrived at the client server and did not produce a bounce.
Accepted = Messages Sent with this link - Bounced messages with this link
Accepted (Link Category Analysis)
Accepted is the number of messages containing this specific link category that were accepted by the email provider's Message Transfer Agent (MTA).

Average Sales per Conversion (per Conversion per Message)
Average Sales per Conversion displays the average total sales based on recipient activities that resulted from Conversion Tracking included in the message.
Average Sales per Conversion = Total Sales (per Conversion per Message) / Conversions (Total)
B
Bounced
Bounced is the number of messages that were rejected by the receiving server. The system differentiates between hard and soft bounces. Bounces do not include messages that go into the spam folder or that are answered through automatic replies (e.g. out of office messages).
However, it occasionally happens that a receiving MTA incorrectly sends a bounce message back to the sending server. If the bounce can be associated with any open or click activity, then the bounce message is conferred a fake. In that case the address is no longer considered a bounce and does not contribute to the total number of bounces in the message statistics.
Bounces are either hard bounces or soft bounces, according to the eec:
Hard Bounces: delivery failures for permanent reason (e.g. a misspelled email address).
Soft Bounces: delivery failures due to a temporary condition (e.g. mailbox is currently full).
Bounced Rate
Bounced Rate displays the number of messages that were rejected by the receiving MTA divided by the number of messages sent.
Bounced Rate = Bounced / Total number of Messages Sent in the sendout
