I think it's a numbers problem.
If you handle a high enough volume of mail, if you sometimes drop
mail, and sometimes have false positives that you drop... you will
eventually reach a volume of dropped false positives that will have
visible affects.
Ie, if you reach a point of dropping 100k or 1M good messages, you're
going to have a bad time.
And, dropping mail that the user tells you to drop is fine, obviously.
As court documents can be delivered by email in some jurisdictions it'll
be interesting the first time something that affects judgement is dropped.
.. I have recently been on the receiving end and it cost me just under
€5000 ... The damages are currently in debate with the company concerned
and they are looking at whether the provider is responsible (actually
they're trying to blame the provider, however they mis-typed an email
... 'gmail.com.mt' != 'gmail.com' and they're just trying to find a
reason why it's not their fault.)
