Emails that bounce get sent back to the address in the Return-Path:

    Yes, sir.

Thanks. Is there usually a delay? Eg the mail server tries again after 4 hours.

Depends on the nature of the failure. Some will cause a bounce to be generated immediately. Others will cause delivery to be retried periodically for a while and then generate a bounce. Some mail servers generate delivery delay warnings (usually after 4 hours).
