Error shown in Delivery Report

When I receive the Delivery Report after sending an email it shows me the total number of emails sent and then the number of errors. What are 'errors'. Looking at the recipient list, it shows the email was delivered to all. None of recipients show that they failed or were unsent. If some of the addresses are bad I would like to know which ones.

Can anyone help clarify this issue? Thanks.

If everything is sent errors can be connection drops.

When you refer to "connection drop", are you referring to my computer dropping the connection to my ISP or my ISP to the recipient?

I mean your server dropping the connection to you.

So this isn't really a problem for me. There were 5266 addresses and 5266 sent with 91 errors. All the emails were sent even though the ISP dropped the connection 91 times. Am I interpretting this correctly?

Yes, this is very likely what happened. MaxBulk Mailer automatically recover from connection drops.

Thanks for you help. It makes me feel better knowing that 91 people didn't get the email.
