Cause of 'Temporary Failure' message
I received this message when replying to an email I received from a known person, whose email I have x'd out.
This is an automatically generated Delivery Status Notification.
Delivery to the following recipients was aborted after 49.4 hour(s):
* [Edited: "Personal Information"]
Reason: Temporary Failure
The attached details file to the error email includes this;
Reporting-MTA: dns; resqmta-h1p-028588.sys.comcast.net [96.102.179.242]
Received-From-MTA: dns; resomta-h1p-027908.sys.comcast.net [96.102.179.197]
Arrival-Date: Sun, 28 Jan 2024 15:12:32 +0000
Final-recipient: rfc822; [Edited: "Personal Information"]
Diagnostic-Code: smtp; Connection error
Last-attempt-Date: Tue, 30 Jan 2024 16:35:59 +0000
This message has been received several times, the last stating my email was aborted after 47.4 hours, but they continue.
Question 1: What causes this?
Question 2: How can it be cancelled?

@46er Thanks for reaching out! Temporary Failures can be caused by a few different issues.
*The destination server could be experiencing an interruption.
*There could be too much network traffic, or emails being sent to the domain, or to the particular email address.
*Antispam or antivirus protection on the server may be blocking incoming mail.
Once it leaves our server, delivery may continue until it fails permanently.
