"Could not send" and "Returned mail" mes

I've been receiving some random emails in my protected email account that have the following headers:

Subject: "Warning: could not send message for past 4 hours ([ADDRESS]: message 1 of 6)"
From: +[ADDRESS]+[USER]+111f0d8a50.MAILER-DAEMON#gourmet.spamgourmet.com@spamgourmet.com
Date: 4/27/2007 5:39 PM
To: [ADDRESS].for.[USER]@spamgourmet.com

and

Subject: Returned mail: see transcript for details ([ADDRESS]: message 3 of 6)
From: +[ADDRESS]+[USER]+0c23e392f0.MAILER-DAEMON#gourmet.spamgourmet.com@spamgourmet.com
Date: 4/29/2007 3:39 AM
To: [ADDRESS].for.[USER]@spamgourmet.com

I've received 7 of these emails since last Thursday (4/26) night. Has anyone else had this happen? It looks like the spamgourmet server is trying to send a reply to the address, but it's failing. Then when it succeeds, the recipient (which are no-reply addresses) return the email. Any ideas? Was there any strangeness with the spamgourmet servers the past few days?

Just outa curiosity... dont give me your email addess but if the final domain you are sending it to gmail? Or another email domain?
If it is gmail all in all which is acting up... then we(they) might have a problem.

ONly reason why I ask is becuase I have also had this on a few emails, but mostly It is the time lag of them being sent.
I just got one which is 23hours old.

Maybe this will narrow it down a little more?

I've been getting "Undelivered Mail" since around last Thursday from two of my addresses, mainly, as well. Hopefully, we'll get an answer as to why this is happening.

I've received 3 of these over the last 2 days, which were attempted to be sent to 3 completely different domains. It seems that when I am sent a mail via a spamgourmet address, spamgourmet sends a reply back to the originator(which fails to them). I've not experienced this problem before.

Folks,

Sorry for the inconvenience. Our DNS barfed all over the carpet. See http://bbs.spamgourmet.com/viewtopic.php?t=1009.

Email that has been delayed will be sent eventually.
