I’m going to have to pick myself up off the floor. FUNNY! I would have to send a message to the webmaster or sysadmin of that domain saying thanks for making my day! Then I’d send a few more emails to the address that failed. I’m cheap to entertain.

LOLOL!

It means the email reached a mail server with an admin with humour. The mail could not be delivered, for instance because the user is not known. Server sends back a non delivery notification. The error message text can be customised.

Bart: Excellent responses. :slight_smile:

While I don’t usually customize those messages (you can see that it confuses some people), I really appreciate the humor in it.

I’m still laughing at the error response.

I have never seen the [You are the weakest link…] message before, but googling for SMTP error 550 gives me that the message is not delivered because there is no mailfile assigned to the emailaddress:

550: Requested action not taken: mailbox unavailable (E.g., mailbox not found, no access)
