Chilli's dead right, mate. " Mailer Daemon " is like e mails own little Postman. He takes an e mail you've sent and delivers it to where you sent it.

 

There he's telling you no one's answering the door to him and apologising for delaying delivery of your mail. Eventually he may come and tell you " Sorry; This is a Fatal Error and I'm giving up trying. ". Something along those lines. Means they've moved and he can't get the mail to them.

 

Rather than just say 'Don't worry about it' though, I'd suggest you read his note more carefully and try to suss out who you've sent - perhaps an important - e mail to and they're not recieving it.

 

Incidentally; Possible cause of this type of delivery failure is that, eg. Their mail box is stuffed with sh*t. That, in itself, often suggests it's a dead letter drop.

If its just a message not too big a problem - if its got an attachment (a file that comes with it, might have a paper clip next to it) don't open it just keep deleting.

Computers get you like that !! , The first pc i got was a bit of a c**t to say the least ! it would lose drivers an allsorts for no reason . One day i put it on an had no sound so i though f****n hell the drivers have disapeared again , So i reinstalled everything still no sound . So i rang the customer service line was on there for about ages , We reinstalled allsorts on the comp still no joy ! the bloke on the other end couldnt figure the prob when my eyes drifted towards the speakers , Like a silly c**t i had the volume turned down i felt a right c**t when i told the bloke !!! :11: that wont be the first or the last time a comp has me loseing my temper .
