Here is my error message :

Please double check your group members, make sure all members are valid email addresses.

Re: Delivery has failed to these recipients or groups

I did the double check with group members as you suggest , all members are valid. The user include in the error message I don't know where it come from .

Re: Delivery has failed to these recipients or groups

Does any member forward email to this invalid user?

Re: Delivery has failed to these recipients or groups

The group content alot of users , have you got any idle to check it from the server side ? .  If there is an member that forward email to invalid user , the error message would send to that member .

Re: Delivery has failed to these recipients or groups

You can try SQL query with SQL  command line tool or tools like phpMyAdmin:

mysql> USE vmail;
mysql> SELECT address FROM alias WHERE goto LIKE '%ngoc%';
