Email Address Malformed: Delayed Message
The recipient’s email address is not a valid email address and so email message has not yet been delivered.
How to fix?
Check the recipient’s email address for spaces or unusual characters. If an error is found, correct it in contacts list or address book for next time. If necessary, contact the recipient another way to confirm their email address.
