They have been sent. The message you see is not from PowerMail, but from
the remote ISP that rejected your message. Consider the message sent to
all recipients simultaneously, and getting back "undeliverable" messages
only for the ones that actually could not be delivered.

That said, I have encountered times where a company's incoming server
SILENTLY dicards messages it thinks is SPAM. This is bad because the
recipient gets angry at you thinking you haven't responded, while you get
angry at him because he doesn't reply to your response - both having no
clue that the original message got silently dropped by a IMO badly
configured server.

Anyway, some multi-mail software (I use MaxBulkMailer) might be a better
way to handle things (like already mentioned in an earlier reply). E.g.,
I use MaxBulkMailer in "send singular mails" mode, the mail is sent in a
loop over all recipients again and again. This way, you can (1)
personalize a mail, if needed, but  also (2) make it look like a mail
addressed only to one person, which is more likely to pass a filter at
the other side than mails that have many To: addresses (like many SPAM
mails do).

Standard Disclaimer: I am not affiliated with the maker of the mentioned
software, I just use it, and there are probably several others that do
the same or even more.
