Is there somewhere a documentation on how bounce management works in Mautic? Which HTML status codes are evaluated as a real bounce? Or are HTMl status codes not used at all for bounce management? I was working with an email marketing software (OSS) where one can define his own rules (= which snippets within the text body qualifies for a bounce; I used regexp for isolating special HTML status codes). Therefore I wonder how it is done in Mautic.
