Reason

Overloaded Network: Delayed Message

The email message has not yet been delivered because the email system was unable to deliver the message due to recipient’s email network being congested or overloaded.

How to fix?

Try waiting a bit since the mail server is busy. The sender’s email provider will retry this message a few more times to see if the message gets through and provide further updates.
