Why does email bounce?

If I send e-mail to a group in Outlook (POP3 through Yahoo) and one recipient's e-mail account has reached quota, does that prevent the rest from receiving that mail?

No, it should not.

I have been trying to send wedding pictures to my husbands aunt and twice now that I have sent it, it has been returned to me. The message I get is that it timed out. What does that mean? How can this problem be fixed? My husband and I want our family to see some of our beautiful wedding pictures and are becoming frustrated. Any assistance you can give us regarding this matter would be appreciated.

Sincerely

Diana & Mike

Timed out implies that the server name (the part after the '@') is wrong or not responding. It's possible that the mail server is rejecting the email because it's too big, but that's usually what it says in the error message when that happens.

You might try uploading the photos to a picture sharing service (flickr comes to mind), and then emailing a link to your page on that service.

My DNS Server apparently decided to point my email to its´own address for a period of about 23 hours. It was only corrected after I learned where the problem lied, as I thought the server was down.

Do yoiu have any ideas as to what percentage of email servers re-attempt delivery of email for a period of 24 hours or more when the server does not respond?

Mahesh: that looks like a server configuration problem. You'll need to contact the owner of the server you're using to send mail through.

Mark: it depends on the failure. I believe the mail specification says something like 4 days.

If you got it in response to something you sent, it looks like a mailer is having a problem, and you should resend. If you just got it out of the blue, then it's probably a malfunctioning spambot, and I'd delete it and ignore further.
