why? [Fwd: Delivery Notification: Delivery has timed out and failed]

[Erik Steffl <steffl@bigfoot.com>]

  some of my messages that I send to debian-user go through just fine
but ome of them are delayed and fail (not sure if all delayed ones fail
in the end). Any ideas why this is happening?

  I am sending messages to debian from few accounts and I haven't
investigated (yet) whether it's just one account that has problems or
more of them. I regularly use both of the accounts to send other email
and don't remember anything suspicious, no other emails are
delayed/failed.

  any ideas?
