I agree that once the mail has been ACCEPTED the recent has to either receive the mail or know why the mail isn't there. For example, most spammy mail is delivered to a users Junk box, where they have a week to check it for mistagged mail, but after a certain threshold, users know that the email will be discarded (scoring over 10 in my case). However, this is very rare because most mail that is that spammy is rejected at the SMTP phase. > It also would seem to violate what used to be a basic expectation of internet > email -- that it is either delivered to the recipient's inbox OR you'll > receive a non-delivery notification (a "bounce"). Or you will receive a rejection immediately. Thin about it this way, if you send an email to da...@example.com and there is no such account because you intended to send it to d...@example.com you do not get an NDN, you get a rejection. -- I want a party where all the women wear new dresses and all the men drink beer. -- Jason Gaes
