I'm thinking what is happening is that AOL is blocking e-mails with more
than a certain number of recipients specified. I get a single e-mail back
with as many as 24 aol e-mails listed. I don't know if IMail sorts the list
of addresses by domain before sending or not. Following is an e-mail that
came back. I modified the latter part of the e-mail addresses to protect
privacy.

I went in and copied the following. I'm not sure this is one for an e-mail
that didn't get delivered, but there are a lot of these kind of messages in
the log. I'm not very good at reading these logs yet, so maybe you can help
me.
