What is EBM?
EBM (Email Bounce Monitor) reads non-delivery reports from your Microsoft 365 mailboxes, extracts the real failed addresses, builds a live suppression list, and exposes it through a secure API.
Do we need SMMP to use EBM?
No. EBM works on its own with any system that can make an HTTP call. SMMP is an optional companion: it can sync EBM’s list and skip bad addresses on every send.
Does EBM send email?
No. EBM monitors and builds the suppression list. Your sending system, or SMMP, checks the list before sending.
How does it find bounces?
It scans configured folders in your Microsoft 365 mailboxes, by default Inbox, Junk Email and Deleted Items, recognises undeliverable reports and extracts the failed recipients and reasons.
How often does it sync?
A scheduled sync is recommended every five minutes, and admins can also refresh on demand.
Does it store mailbox passwords?
No. EBM uses app-only access to your Microsoft 365 tenant.
Can it block whole domains?
No. Suppression applies to the exact address that failed. Domain data is used for reporting.
How do our systems use the list?
They call the check API before sending and skip any address that is blocked, or they pull the full list through the export API. It can be used from any system, even a native SMTP configuration.
What if EBM is unavailable when a system checks?
If EBM cannot reach its database, the check returns allowed and the incident is logged, so sending is not interrupted. This is a deliberate availability choice.
Where does it run, and is it secure?
EBM is a SaaS product that we host and maintain for you, so there is nothing to install or patch. It uses app-only Microsoft 365 access, so mailbox passwords are not stored, and it has viewer and admin roles, API keys, login rate limiting and an activity log. Jeevaysoft is ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certified and our team is HIPAA trained.
What support do we get?
Live chat with real people, a dedicated MS Teams group, email and phone calls. Our support and technical teams respond quickly, and a dedicated Project Manager is available for any kind of assistance.
Can we see EBM before we commit?
Yes. Book a demo and we will walk through scanning, suppression and the check API with your scenario.
