WOW! Annoying isn't it...

Well this is what happens in the system when some one doesn't have a proper email address as REQUIRED!!!

The error occurs because someone (not either of these posters) has requested to be notified of new replies. However, they do not have a proper email address set up. Therefore the system is trying to send them an email advising them that someone has posted a reply to a topic, but is unable.

Thius will also happen when you attempt to send a PM to someone who doesn't have an email address set up. The system sends the person and email teling them they have a new PM - however if they do not have an email set up in the sytem you will get an error!

I have said this many times...

YOU MUST HAVE A PROPER WORKING EMAIL ENTERED IN YOUR PROFILES!

I will start banning members that do not follow these simple instructions.
* Pass this on to all members. *

That makes sense.  The forum is trying to auto-send to someone who's "Watching the thread" and wants to be notified of additional posts to it.  So it kicks back and notifies those of us posting to the thread (that another member is monitoring), that our post can't be sent to the person who's watching the thread, so it see's the imcompletion of the process.Their Email can't be found. We all get notification of that fact just by posting to such a thread that can't complete it's auto function
