Ok now the net nanny has nbeen to work I don't get if the message is weird or messed up by the editor.

The message is from AOL telling you that billy or whatever @AOL.COM is not a valid address with AOL. It is not an issue with Thunderbird, your computer or your provider, unless your provider is AOL.
