Sometimes you will get emails that look like the one below:From: Mail Delivery System [mailto:Mailer-Daemon@fbsmtp.iglou.com]

To: user@iglou.com
Subject: Warning: message 16XtZQ-0003a8-00 delayed 48 hours
This message was created automatically by mail delivery software (Exim).
A message that you sent has not yet been delivered to one or more of its recipients after more than 48 hours on the queue on fbsmtp.iglou.com.
The message identifier is: 16XtZQ-0003a8-00
The subject of the message is: x
The date of the message is: Mon, 4 Feb 2002 17:02:26 -0500
The address to which the message has not yet been delivered is:
anotheruser@somedomain.com
No action is required on your part. Delivery attempts will continue for some time, and this warning may be repeated at intervals if the message remains undelivered. Eventually the mail delivery software will give up, and when that happens, the message will be returned to you.
The mail server for the domain listed is generating an error message when we try to deliver the mail. Our mail server will continue to attempt delivery until either the problem is resolved or the message is returned to the sender.
Commonly the email address in question doesn't exist or does exist and is out of storage space, if the problem clears up the message will be delivered, if it does not, it will be returned.
