Mail server op here: mail exchangers (mine included) absolutely silently drop insane amounts of email submissions without any indication to the sender or the envelope recipient. At most there's a log the operator can look at somewhere that notes the rejection and whatever rules it was based on.

- sokoloff 1y agoI run a family email server. I’ve worked with a few mail sysadmins trying to diagnose why some of our mail doesn’t get through. Even with a devoted and cooperative admin on the other side, I can absolutely believe that general logging levels are low and lots of mail is silently discarded as we’ve seen that in targeted tests when we both wanted to see the mail and associated log trail.
