Usually you get a reply from the daemon when the mail wasn't able to be delivered or was rejected by the mail server.
In the reply you will find the reason why.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAddfdFFFAAAAAAAAAAA

ajfasjfhjlahlffahlflafa/6555/aaa

like 70 lines like that a part the first few lines that say the mail can't be delivered

It also should say why shortly after stating that it couldn't be delivered.
Witski Dec 5, 2020 @ 3:32pm 
it says only this :

Hi. This is the qmail-send program at mxdhbe07.ad.aruba.it.
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.

The rest is unreadeable crap like this :

Content-Type: application/pdf; name="my name"
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="my name.pdf"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
Content-ID: <f_kibswtl30>

followed by a link which i will never click because the message is shrinked.

Mailer Daemon is not a virus. But don't click on any links, either way. Just to be safe.

If the email address is valid it may be because the email inbox is full, when user accesses it it should get cleared. Check email address is good and resend it.

Yeah it's valid, maybe a lot of people in my area look for a job

there's probably a number. Like 451 or "4.5.1" or "SMTP ERROR bad gateway" and a number (or mailbox is full, address not found, etc).

If you can find that number -- probably at the very start of that weird text -- you might be able to determine what the problem the mailer daemon is complaining about.

Take a look here on wikipedia for the codes (although.. its a link to click! type it in yourself if you have to, I won't be offended!) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_SMTP_server_return_codes

if it says there's a virus, it's because the mail server receiving the mail + attachment from you scanned it for viruses and got a positive hit (if you are sure there is no virus, it may be a False positive). If you have scanned it yourself and are confident there is no virus, you can try sending the file zipped with a password (password protected zip file) - the mail scanner will not be able to scan it properly, and will likely allow it through.

edit - never mind, i didnt read the op properly... looks like it just wasn't deliverable so check the email address is spelt correctly
