For bounce management, cronjob `mautic:email:fetch` is only for SMTP monitored folders.

How do you process bounces via API third-party services? such as Sendgrid?

Answering my own post.

After many different tests with SendGrid for bounce configuration - **YES** - `mautic:email:fetch` is only for STMP.

Had to have the exact email - [example@test.com](mailto:example@test.com) - in my mautic installation to test the webhook event in Sendgrid and confirm that it marks the bounce correctly.
