5.1.8

Message Not Delivered: sending address is bad or can't accept replies

The message could not be delivered because the sender's email system either does not exist or cannot accept return email.

Fixes

Review the sender's email address to identify any misspellings or missing letters in the domain part of the email address. In the settings or options of the sender's email program, ensure that the sender's email address is entered correctly.

If the problem persists, contact the sender's email support team to see if they can help troubleshoot further.
