Listserv Errors and Return Messages

Email Delivery Failure Messages

Users of Listserv may send email to a list and receive a return email with the message "Email not delivered", "Email delivery failure", "Mailbox full", "Too many hops", and/or a similar. Most likely, your list posting was delivered to the list, with the exception of one or more subscriber resulting in a 'bounced' or indication of failed delivery. Some common reasons include "no such user" and "mailbox full". In most cases, delivery was successful to most list members.
