There _are_ messages that are silently discarded though: those with a size that is bigger than the limit, often because of attachments. We sometimes miss valid mails to d-boot because of that (with installation logs attached). The main problem there IMO is that the sender gets no indication that anything has gone wrong. Also frustrating is the situation were an installation report (BR against installation-reports) is accepted into the BTS, but rejected by the mailservers, which means that we never get to see the report (at least not in a timely manner)...
