Sadly this is the reality of email now.

Originally email was 100% reliable ... either it was delivered, or a failure was reported to the sender.

Spammers have wrecked that. Now some mail just gets lost/dumped. Very little gets returned as undelivered because spammers spoof the various From and Sender fields, that causes even more 'backscatter' than the amount of spam. Hopefully the various validation and signing protocols will improve things, but I suspect the spammers will find ways to spoof/hack those, too. cry
