Deciphering Error Messages If an e-mail is returned to you, most likely it will contain an explanation.   User unknown: The message arrived at the mail server, but the server couldn't find the recipient. Check the user name part of the e-mail address for errors and try sending the message again. Also, double check the domain name to ensure that you are sending it to the right organization.   Host unknown: Your mail server could not find out the server's computer address based on the domain name. Check the domain name in the e-mail address for errors and try again.   Message hasn't been delivered, but will try again. Your mail server failed to deliver the message, but will continue to resend it. This error message indicates a temporary communications problem that may clear up by itself. For example, this message is generated when the recipient's mail server is not functioning or is disconnected from the Internet.   Learn the Net (www.learnthenet.com) is Copyright 1996-2008.
