Here's a typical one: Recipient address: <xxx>@aol.com Reason: SMTP transmission failure has occurred Diagnostic code: smtp;554-: (HVU:B1) http://postmaster.info.aol.com/errors/554hvub1.html TRANSACTION FAILED Remote system: dns;mailin-01.mx.aol.com (TCP|206.46.252.40|54606|205.188.159.57|25) (rly-yg03.mx.aol.com ESMTP mail_relay_in-yg3.6; Tue, 06 Sep 2005 19:25:39 -0400) -- All spam & UCE are reported.
