For everyone's future reference, if you get a failed delivery message
DON'T PANIC. First check the mail header to see where the message is
coming from. If it is NOT from the skyway.usask.ca domain it is being
generated by one of the list recipients. THAT IS A GOOD SIGN, it means
the mailing list sent your message. The bounce is coming from one of the
subscribers addresses and telling you who on the list didn't receive the
message. Everyone else got it. Chances are that if you send it again,
the same people still won't receive it and the rest of us just get two
copies. Also, if you receive a copy of you post back from the list, that
is also a good indication that things are working.
The only time to really worry about a failed delivery message would be if
you get a single failed delivery message from the skyway.usask.ca domain,
and never see your post come back to you.
