During the Solarwinds event I saw them silently drop emails. During normal times they simple accept the mail and refuse to show it to the user (marking it "spam" and hiding it in non-inbox folders); a "shadow drop". Far worse than doing what is expected (if it really were spam, which it usually isn't) which is to refuse the email following standard protocols.
- jeffbee 2y agoWhich "they" are we talking about? Microsoft for sure drops emails silently without delivering them.
- superkuh 2y agoGoogle's GMail (re: shadow drops). But re: silent drops I am specifically referring to Google's Gmail platform as was providing email hosting service for all noaa.gov email addresses and the silent dropping of emails sent to noaa.gov.
