Email notifications being "bounced and could not be delivered"

Starting yesterday, I have not been receiving email notifications that documents have been sent for signature or signed by those outside our company.

 

When checking document progress, it shows a document has been signed by someone outside our company, but the activity section shows "Email sent to [name] [email] bounced and could not be delivered."

 

 

 

Any ideas why this is happening?  and what is the solution? I've seen posts about this, but no solution has been posted. Thank you.

I have the same problem not receiving the email notifications as of 9-30-25.  Receiver is getting the doc, sender is not.  I spent hours on the phone with Adobe yesterday through chat and via phone call only for them to say it's an email problem.  Called my email host only for them to say it's an adobe problem.  Either way, the problem has not been resolved and after reading the community posts, it seems to happen often but I dont see a solution anywhere.  Does it just randomly start working again?

Thank you for reaching out, and sorry about the trouble caused.

 

Please confirm if this happens with multiple documents or with a particular document. Was the document you sent for signature sent to a single or multiple recipients?

Hi @Meenakshi Negi 

It happened with multiple documents, the documents were sent to multiple recipients and single recipients.

The recipients get the requests and can sign, but I do not get the notifications. I only get a message when I check the status/activity saying my email has "bounced and could not be delivered"
