completed some AOL addresses clogging email delivery failures

In the past few days, these two members' AOL addresses have been creating more and more notification fails in my email activity log- see screenshot.
They both test 'deliverable' through kickbox. I'm seeing it also in my Mailguin logs and have opened a Mailgun Ticket.
But just wondering if others are experiencing AOL rejections nad/ofr if anyone has any insights as to what's going on.
I've now turned these two members' notifications OFF but I hate to do that cause they are good members.
p.s. experience has told me to not bother asking aol users to change their email address- most don't seem to have any other address... imho, it should be L O L, not A O L.
Any thoughts while i wait on Mailgun support?

Looks like the AOL SMTP server is down - that's what those 421 errors mean. Mailgun will "buffer" these for you and send them when AOL's mail server is back online. If it continues, Mailgun are ones who will know what's up, so it's good you are in contact with them.

Thanks Brian. I did hear back from Mailgun, and they said pretty much what you said and they 'moved me to a less busy IP'...after which it now seems to be settling better...so far so good but I'll keep an eye on it. I just didn't want all those rejected/fails to up my bounce rate and make it seems like I was spamming people or something. I obviously dont understand that much about how this stuff works.
Seems to be less of a problem so far today, so maybe mailgun's IP thing helped.
Thank you for helping to translate the error message!

No problem - that type of error isn't considered a rejected message, so it won't affect your sender reputation.

Great, since the rest of my reputation is pretty well shot. l o l
