Some emails aren't being delivered

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



I set up smtp for my outbound email and I don't have much mail that goes
out, it's only me sending mail. Most of my emails go through, but it seems
that some don't. From the message I receive, it sounds like it's not even
getting out from my server, but since some messages do get delivered, I'm
not sure where to even look for the problem. The pattern I've found,
although there could be no relation, is that none of the messages get
through when it's set to aol. Is there something different about aol that I
need to set up? As I said, I'm not positive aol is the problem, so how
could I find out if the message below indicates a problem on my end, or if
it is delivering but aol is rejecting it? Thanks for your help.


This is the message I receive: Delivery Status Notification (Delay) --
This is an automatically generated Delivery Status Notification.

THIS IS A WARNING MESSAGE ONLY.

YOU DO NOT NEED TO RESEND YOUR MESSAGE.

Delivery to the following recipients has been delayed.
