No, you're still not understanding.
Say you have a ... oh, I dunno, a DHCP server/router that your entire
office network plugs into. And say it has a feature, as so many do, to
send alerts via email if say the uplink goes down. Now, that email
configuration is very primitive, has almost not options, and also
doesn’t likely have rDNS configured correctly on it.
When the uplink goes down and the emails get rejected, there's no one
to know. The human is involved, you just don't get the alert you are
expecting when you expect it.
Who gets blamed when it's discovered all those emails where never
delivered? The person in charge of the mailserver.
