I'm getting this error message -- usually in conjunction with e-mails
sent to aol.com addresses.

THANKS!

Yes, 554 as you can see below. (or above)

Thanks,

It means that the mail server returned an error and did not send the
message. Is there more to the error, such as a 3 digit number like
550?
