Subject: Unable to process message for $dayselapsed days.
For the last $dayselapsed days, it has been impossible to process your message.
This generally happens when name server failures or network connectivity
problems prevent the mailer from looking up one or more of the addresses
mentioned in the message headers (i.e. your message is likely correct and
would have been processed had it not been for these problems over which
we have no control). Note that the mailer currently examines *all* addresses
(including From:, To:, Cc:, etc).
Because a delay of $dayselapsed days is usually long enough for minor problems
with name servers and network connectivity to get resolved, we are returning
your message unprocessed so you can try an alternate route if one is available
to you.

Delivery attempts for the recipient(s) listed below have been failing for the
last $dayselapsed days, and we are now giving up. Network failures or
problems at the remote end are the usual cause for such problems. Delivery
was normal for the other recipients.
Delivery did not take place for:
