#136360 - one particular example
Responding to: ???'s previous message
One particular - and spectacular - example of how things might get wrong: once I sent out an e-mail to somebody who happened to have initials MZ. This mail got silently discarded on our server and I learned about it only by a coincidence - I Cc-d a different account of mine in that very same mail to have it's copy at hand at different places - and noticed that it did not arrive.

Weekend quiz: guess why got that mail discarded.
