recipients. This is a permanent error. The following address(es) failed:

bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx.com
host 74.220.xxxxx[74.220.xxxxxxx]

The message you receive was created by a server, somewhere. Thunderbird is only doing its job in forwarding this message to you. A few possibilities:

Did you create bounce@xxxx.com on a server somewhere? To receive a valid answer, it needs to be a bona fide address. If not, then either:
– The address bounce@xxxx.com doesn't exist on the server. The error message feels like either the domain exists but not the address itself,
– Domain xxxx.com doesn't exist, therefore you are receiving a reply from a dns server somewhere telling you the domain doesn't exist (less likely), or, if it is a new domain, it hasn't yet populated (i.e. it is not known to the whole world).

i created bounce@xxxx.com few days ago....

I use admin@xxxx.com for years now....
I called my host....so I logged into webmail in cpanel and everything was fine...I could send out and receive emails to bounce@xxxx.com

it is just weird.....the domain exists now for over 13 years
