  no the failure mail will put the reason.
  A lot of words there but U just have to read it once to know where the reason is located.
  
  means that ur email send out mail but kenna bouce back for whatever reasons...maybe the other party's server busy....mailbox full....etc...
  
  to find out how to stop that....find out the reason first from the failure mail.
  if U totally dun want to receive failure mails....then U have to set ur filter to get rid of them....takes a little tweaking though...

  Either the email address don't exist or that person's mailbox full.
  
  If emails keep bouncing back, better check the email address. Make sure that you don't type wrongly.

  I think the thread-starter is referring to bounced emails that he didn't even send out. Just ignore them. It can be a spam mail. If you wish to know more, contact Hotmail then.
