Could anyone translate this from spanish to English for me:

" - Los siguientes destinatarios fueron cursados por el servidor de
correo: antispamsys@terra.cl; Fallido; 5.2.2 (casilla llena)"

I tried altavista/translations but somehow I think it wasn't translated
right:

"The following adressees were attended by the mail servant:
antispamsys@terra.cl; Insolvent; 5.2.2 (full square)"

If anyone could I would appreciate it.

Babblefish translates this as:

- The following recipients were studied for the servant of mail:
antispamsys@terra.cl; Failed; 5.2.2 (full
booth)"

Hehe. A translator on a translators' newsgroup that I read now and then said
that he wrote the German name of some complicated piece of railway equipment
into Babelfish just for fun. Babelfish stated, soberly and authoritatively,
"the word you are looking for in English is vanvan vanvanvan"

One of the talkboards I frequent has a long running "Name That Tune"
thread - identify a song from a snippet of its lyrics. Someone started
a variant "Name That Bablefished Tune" - take lyrics, translate from
their original language (usually English) into another (or several),
ending up at the original language, and post to the thread for
identification. Some results were quite bizarre to say the least.

Mark Twain saw a translation of his "Jumping Frog" story in French. When
he translated it literally back into English, it was close to gibberish.
But it was funny.
