I find this discussion intriguing. The German law cited earlier also forbids you from changing data (original German word "verändert" --- did I get that right?)It seems to me this could make subject tagging illegal. In fact, a rigid interpretation could make SMTP illegal since you add a Received: header at each hop, and that's certainly modifying the data being transmitted. I believe this is a case of non-technical legislators completely failing to forsee the logical consequences of their law. :)
that may all be true and like won't matter most of the timeit starts to matter if you silent discard a important message and some large party with a good laywer pretends he lost xxx $ money because of the not happened resend or contact over a dfiierent medium in the assumption the mail was delivered
yes i am aware that one could pretend not got a mail anyways, but in that case you can prove at least the delivery to the mailbox with your logs, if your last log entry is "discarded" you are out of luck
