Bound back

During the meeting my stakeholder said “ if you can bound back that email …” does that mean forward that email

In the context it made sense that she was saying forward that email however i’d like to know if that’s common to understand bounce back the email same as forward that email.

Many thanks in advance! :)

Hi Sonye!

Normally 'to bounce back' means an email has been unsuccessfully delivered  and returned to the sender. For example:

'I tried to send you the report but my email keeps bouncing back. Did you give me the correct address?'

Sometimes setting up an auto-reply function is considered a 'soft' form of bouncing back emails.

All the best
