Why do SOME of my emails come back saying it has not been delivered, but will try again later, but then doesn't and what do I do about it?

This is the error message I receive on SOME of the emails I send:

This message was created automatically by mail delivery software. A message that you sent has not yet been delivered to one or more of its recipients after more than 24 hours on the queue on drive1050.station030.com.

It does not happen all the time, so I end up assuming the recipient received my email. Then I find out days later from an email like this that it wasn't delivered (sometimes I don't even get this message, I just find out my email wasn't delivered). Then a few days later another error message says it's been 72 hours but they will keep trying. So I'm never sure if it's been sent or not.

This just started happening a couple of weeks ago. This is my business email. Please tell me what to do!!!

Thanks for your help,

Witty

Is station030.com your email provider or the one of the recipient?

I believe that is my server.

In that case your email provider's server is having difficulties to deliver the message to the recipients email provider server. This has got nothing to do with Thunderbird. There is little you can do though. You may have the recipient to check with his email provider if they have any issues.
