It seems '550' is used somehow inflationary, so you can't rely on the exact literal translation. @John: You can firstly be sure the mail was _not_ delivered. 550 is an error code for a serious failure with no delivery being done and no retry being following. You can secondly read the text after '550' and try to understand: DATA line too long (Max 1024) This relativizes the translation above mentioned URL gives. The mail you sent out contained a line in DATA part that was simply to long. Either your MUA sent it this long or an intermediate MTA made a mistake while transferring the mail. The reasons you got no error for second recipient can be various: 1.) it's MTA can handle longer lines than 1024 2.) the return never reached your mailbox 3.) an MTA dropped the mail silently. All in all I'd assume '451' would have been a better error code for what I think to be read from the descriptive text ... Nevertheless: Put the mail into outbox again and have a look into it's source (if using The Bat! use <F9>) if there's any extreme long line. If so: try to avoid it, if you don't know how: ask here so we can suggest some possible solutions depending on the exact circumstances.
