Lots of customers have told me that mail sent to me: xxxxx@acrylicxxxxxx.com
is retuned as undeliverable. I have a super cheap domain host and have
mail forwarded to my yahoo webmail account, that is a payed account.
The domain host is payed for a couple years and I don't want to have
to reupload all my website pages.  Have been getting some virus emails
but yahoo filters them, and they are getting easy to recognize and I
don't even open them or attachments.
Question is: is to yahoo  or my domain host that responsible.
Estimating about 5% get bouced back to sender, in last few months.
With paypal and other stuff too much haslte to change and use another
email address.

Here are headers of one returned email.  (xxx's are to keep some from getting spam)

Looking at the headers it appears that the mail was received by your
domain hoster, Doteasy, and they dutifully attempted to forwared the
email to your Yahoo account.  There is not enough of an error message
reported in the bounce message to accurately determine if the message
was refused from the Yahoo servers or if the Doteasy server could not
connect to the Yahoo servers.

Do you have any other bounced messages which may have more informative
error messages or do they all look pretty much like the one you have
provided?

Hi again, esoteric...

Given that it's likely that your domain is not the problem,
but rather Yahoo mail, a simple solution to at least try
is to forward your mail to a different web-based mail
site. I'd be more than happy to provide you a mail site
which offers forwarding as part of a free account, as an
answer to this question.

"Do you have any other bounced messages which may have more informative
error messages?"  No, don't have any other, but I know it happens
often, like when paypal has a sale but no email notification of that
sale.

Thanks, to both of you, the combination of advice was very helpful.
This question can be closed now.

Researchers can't close a question except by answering it.
You can designate one of the respondents here to do so,
or you can cancel the question yourself and pay only the
$.50 listing fee, by following the instructions on 
researcher skermit-ga's GA User's Guide, here:
http://www.christopherwu.net/google_answers/answer_guide.html#how_close

Or, if you wish to reward both contributors, you can 
alter the question price on this question, as desired,
designate one of the respondents to answer it, and open
a new question with the second contributor's nickname in
the subject line, with a token question like "What's your
favorite color?".

Don't want to play favorites, and both views of situation was better than one.
Again, I consider it answered.
