Received a mail delivery subsystem email - need help understanding why?
I sent an email to two groups...total quantity of people was 32 recipients. I received the following email. It references this...Chair Contacts"@mailpod.hostingplatform.com...which I have no recipient with this email string. I can't tell if all the emails were rejected or not, nor do I understand why this continues to happen. Can you please assist?

This indicates the email alias you are sending the message to has some sort of redirection or other loop problem which makes it bounce. Contact the systems / email admin / support at mailpod.hostingplatform.com to troubleshoot it.
There is also a bug in Thunderbird 31.1, this may be related.
It's Bug #1060901. If you have an account on Bugzilla, please consider voting for that issue.
Several other people have sent in similar support requests to yours, noting this happened after they upgraded to version 31.1.
The exact error message is: XXXX is not a valid e-mail address because it is not of the form user@host. You must correct it before sending the e-mail.
This happens in Thunderbird 31.1.0 when your mailing list description includes several words separated by spaces.
Although not ideal, these workarounds should let you use your mailing lists until a proper fix is implemented:
- While composing an email open the address book and select the list you are trying to send to, highlight all the names in the list and drag them to the To: box. This uses your existing data without modifying it.
- Replacing the blanks " " between the words in such lists' descriptions with an underscore "_". This requires modifying your mailing list(s) description(s).
- Downgrade to a previous version and disable automatic updates (Windows)
