You mean the one that says "The following message to <GloriaWan>
was undeliverable"?

Obviously, <GloriaWan> is not a valid email address.

The errror suggests incorrectly formatted email addresses; e.g.,
name[AT]ispcom instead of name[AT]isp[DOT]com.

However, the real problem may be that you're sending one (1) message to an
excessive number of recipients via BCC (which is your ISP or mail account
provider's policy, not a Windows Mail policy).

Try sending to 50, 25 or fewer addresses & see if the behavior persists.
Also put your own email address in the TO field for good measure (some
providers require this).
