I've just received this response from a large corporate email system regarding their claim that emails sent to them are not getting through even though our logs contain acknowledgements of accepting the mail sent.
Must be a legal firm? Can't think of any other type of 'corporate email' that would be run by idiots.
Their response: ... "my understanding of the <firmname removed> security policy is not to acknowledge mistakes in email addresses as a best practice defense against phishing and other types of email delivered attacks."
Don't see any valid logic - only a lawyer could come with that sort of BS. No SPAMmer is going to read an error message, so that only senders that would annoy are ones getting invalid receipts [like yours].
