When delivery to an address results in a 5xx error, the address will be appended to the file. This can help you, for example, identify bad addresses in your mailing lists more quickly than searching the outgoing SMTP logs. This file is automatically removed at midnight each night to prevent it from growing too large.<\/span><\/p>\n\r"
