Temporary failure mailer-daemon@comcast.net over and over and over and over......

Keep getting these emails because of one email address in a large distribution list. Seems that the answers to the issue have been archived. Does anyone know how to get these emails to stop coming? I changed my password just in case it was something security-related. Thanks for the help.

This is text of the message. I replaced the real username with "username".  It comes from mailer-daemon@comcast.net.

 

This is an automatically generated Delivery Status Notification.     

 

Delivery to the following recipients was aborted after 49.2 hour(s):

 

  * username@icloud.com

 

Reason: Temporary Failure

would need more context here. Feel free to PM me or post here with the message you receive, but if you post it in here, please remove any email addresses and/or personal information.

that looks like a standard deliverability error. For some reason the server was unable to send the email you had addressed to that user. Were there any attachments indicating any kind of specific error code? (usually 3 numbers with a string following, like XXX X.X.X)

No code. Just the original attachment I had sent in the email.

Now it's changed from temporary to permanent error. Still no code.

I have the same problem. I now know that the email address I sent to is dead. I just want to make the system stop attempting to send the message since I know it will never reach it's destination. I don't want to block the mailer-daemon since I know it serves a useful purpose.

I have the same problem.  I do not understand why there is not a solution posted by CC tech or I am not looking in the correct place? Anyone?

Why would you need more context?  Seem pretty straight forward to me.  Like this other person, I responded to an email that wat, apparently, sent from some bogus address,and for the past three days, I'm getting the temporary failure error emails back....... over and over and over..  So what's the context problem, other than you have no idea what you're talking about.

Hey Comcast, I’m having the same issue for a week now I’ve been getting this error. I get it, the email address was invalid and the message can’t be sent. I don’t need to get this error every day for the rest of my life now. How do I make it stop??

Like everyone else, you'll just have to wait it out until it quits.

Hi @user_4e94dc

I know how inconvenient this error can be and I do want to be sure we can help. You've come to the right place and I am happy to help. How long have you been getting this error? Can you also tell me if the error is "temporary or permanent? 

I no longer work for Comcast.

Having same issue. Odd that the timing happens to Coincide with Comcast’s abandonment of their email app.

Sorry, but I have little expectation that Comcast will attend to this annoyance in a timely manner, even though I promptly  pay them $200 per month.
