[MackHalliday]

User Story - Business Need

We want to improve the management and reliability of email data within the VA system in collaboration with VA Profile by

• Tracking delivered and bounced emails, specifically identifying hard bounces (permanent failures) and soft bounces (temporary issues).
• VA Notify will support VA Profile by providing real-time data on email deliverability.
• Utilizing existing infrastructure and celery tasks to minimize new development efforts.

• Ticket is understood, and QA has been contacted (if the ticket has a QA label).
