What is a bounce?

What is a bounce flag and when are they used in DirectLync?
A bounce flag is notated by a red exclamation point within a red circle (pictured below). They are applied to certain contacts within a group to let you know that the last dispatched email to this recipient has bounced. Future emails will not be dispatched to these recipients until the bounce flag is removed.
