Take a look at Tools, Accounts, Mail, Properties, General. If the
e-mail address or Reply to address is wrong (the Reply to may be empty),
that will send the errors to the wrong address.

Another possibility is that your mail service (ISP) is doing spam
filtering and trapping those messages.

I have just checked: I have no blocked senders, no message rules, and
no spam
filter. Any other ideas?

In the past, if I made a mistake with someone's e-mail address, I
used to
get
a message like "I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to
the
following addresses. This is a permanent error; I've given up.
Sorry it
didn't work out."

Nowadays, I never receive this when using Outlook Express 6.0, even
though
I
know a particular e-mail address is not valid, because when I send
using a
web-based mail system, I get the above error message.

Any ideas? Can I configure OE to receive these messages?
