Is there a problem with the server?

I am getting this reply (actually oodles of these as there is one for every club member address) when sending to our distribution list:


Your message to (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. in This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.) had the following error and was not delivered (11 retries):
[] Failures=[] Recipients=[]
NOTE: This may be due to an invalid recipient address or high email volume at this time--try again later.



Here's the email. We use this distribution list routinely, so I'm baffled!

Columbus Day - Let's Go Exploring! -

Words of the Day- pelagic-or- endemic. <oooo these were pretty tough, darn it>

Thomas led our our meeting today as we explored the ways we learn and lead. Both of our speakers talked about ways we learn, each uniquely. Cary's story about "Angel" was riveting and Betty's "My Reality Check Didn't Bounce" was captivating. Both are mindful storytellers and offered good messages for the audience.

Evaluators Lisette and Becky were spot on on their feedback, ample praise, a few opportunities and I especially liked that they both commented on how the speaker met their project objectives and how the speech effected them. Natalie was our topics master and she chose concepts from John Maxwell's leadership book for Greg, Zainab, and Jenny to explore.

Ribbon winners were Betty, Becky and Jenny (guest). Also, Natalie presented Betty and Nancy with their ARM award Ribbons. We were 12 in attendance, including first time guest, Jenny, who was invited by Natalie!

Bring your friends and co-workers... our meetings are fun now, and will be much more fun when our room is busting with club members and guests!

No problem with the server.

There is apparently a problem with the This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. address.

It may be invalid or it could be blocking the server's attempt to send mail to it.

SOLVED.
Well - I've succeeded in getting the msg sent by rebuilding it.

Still don't know why the others failed so completely.

NOTE: I did copy it from the website where we keep a running history of our club meetings. I wonder if there was some funky details in that copied material that befuddled the mail server?

Thanks again for your prompt reply earlier... please mark this as closed.
THANK YOU!

And this time I moved the text to a "notepad" to strip it of special attributes, then copied that plain-text to the message body.
THANK YOU!

Keep in mind that what most email providers show is a "friendly" view of the actual raw email.

In reality, modern multi-part emails are a bunch of marked up text parts containing keywords, part boundary markers, HTML markup, encoded binary data, etc. In other words, while many parts of the raw email are "human readable", a lot of it looks like a jumbled mess. Also, available standards for email are sometimes ignored by email providers which adds yet another wrinkle.

It is not that difficult to get an error in the jumbled mess that is modern email.

While the FTH list server does the best it can to decipher this jumbled mess and make sense of it, as you are seeing, the whole process can be broken by the email itself. Unfortunately, email can be a lot more complex than I would like to admit.
