what does it mean my my yahoo email does ths?

I sent an email the other day to a publisher. The email sent it self back to me. Because yahoo had to go and mess around with things, now I cannot see the email address of the recipient that I intended for the email to go to. So how do I know it was sent to the publisher and not just to my in box. as far as I am concerned yahoo ruined things when they decided to change the set up for their email. Its soo totally aggravating it use yahoo anymore. Are they trying to ruin their own service? More importantly, what does this mean???

    Hi Bryan,

    The delivery failure notices that you received actually do contain information about why the message was rejected. It should have some detail at the beginning.

    Keep in mind, however, that if you receive a delivery failure when sending to a non-Yahoo! email address, Yahoo is not the one generating the message. Please review the content of the delivery failure message and you should be able to learn more.

    If the messages are being blocked by the recipient server for policy reasons, you may need to reach out to the host's postmaster.

    You may contact the postmaster of your domain at the sample email address below:

    postmaster@domain.com

    Note: Replace "domain.com" with the extension of the domain in question.

    Hope that helps!
