I find the standard NDR

A message that you sent could not be delivered to all of its recipients.
The following address(es) failed:

dangerously ambiguous. That is, there is a natural (though dispreferred)
reading of that in which "all" takes wide scope over the "not" That is
instead of the intended reading

      Not ( Ax (delivered(x))


some could read that text as

     Ax (Not (delivered(x))


The second sentence ("The following addresses ...") does help sort it
out quite a bit, but requires backtracking on the readers part.

I know that the text is fully configurable.

PS:  About the subject line: An advertising jingle when I was growing up
   was 
    "Everbody doesn't like something, but nobody doesn't like Sara Lee."
