The dangerous mistake is not suppressing too much, it is diagnosing. An agent that reads a 554 and writes that the recipient blocked you, or turns a run of failures into a claim about your authentication, sends a marketer chasing something that is not happening. Hermes is a capable general reasoner, and what is wanted here is that it carries the server's words through and stop.
Run a staged conversation — no account needed. The agent handles it for real while a simulated world answers its tool calls; nothing touches real accounts, and nothing is actually sent.
Bounce: August Restock Announcement
Hard bounce. 550 5.1.10 RESOLVER.ADR.RecipientNotFound, recipient not found by SMTP address lookup. First failure ever recorded for this address, which opened 23 of the last 30 sends and clicked a product link eight days ago. Account bounce rate today is 0.2 percent.

Hygiene rules
Which bounces earn a suppression and which only get counted, how many soft failures in what window make a streak, the profile property that stores the reason, the bounce rate you treat as a spike, and the domains worth waking someone for.

Watch it handle a test run
A staged conversation against a simulated world — then it’s live.
The response text goes onto the profile property as it arrived. Every useful decision downstream depends on that string being real rather than interpreted.
Failures across many domains inside one hour point at the sender rather than the addresses. Spotting that and refusing to suppress anything is the highest-value judgement in the template.
On the giveaway wave, where thirty-one failures arrive together and the pull towards explaining them is strong. The correct behaviour is to suppress what the rules allow, report the rate movement with the shared landing page named, and offer no theory about why the addresses are dead. Fake Signup Wave stages exactly that, and it is the run to read closely before going live.
Free to start. Guided setup, a test run against staged conversations, and it's live.
