It is a false postive if the recipient expects to be able to receive mail from the sender. It means that a test is being employed that is not trust worthy. You're looking at it from the admin point of view
Yes
(that's not a criticism) and not from the recipients point of view.
I think we can all take diverse POVs, thank you.
Mail admins should/must take on the resposibility of handling other email in the same way the postoffice are obliged to deliver smail mail even if they know it just a pile of junk mail.
This analogy is useless and incorrect. The PO charges 100's of $Ms for delivering that junk mail.
And if you don't register the mail and demand a delivery receipt, delivery by the PO is not guaranteed nor traceable.
In most countries unless it actually endangers property or life then the post office is obliged by law to deliver all mail regardless of content or where it comes from. Are we so different?
Sure. There is absolutely no, contractual, guaranteed delivery or privacy for Internet email.
Because email so is amazingly reliable and quick in spite of all the abuses and diverse links in the chain, people's expectations are very high. But expectations are not contracts nor guarantees.
