True - I have deleted mail like this myself.

The message is as good as deleted for the user. If the mail bounces it will usualy go to the domains postmaster account. If its an ISP they will get thousands of these a day due to mistyped address ect, thay are not going to bother informing the sender that the mail has gone walkies !!

If the message is bounced to a company the mail will again go into the postmasters mailbox. Speaking by my own experience this box is hardlry ever checked. The last company I worked for was a large e-tailer company in luton and the postmaster box used to have well over 1000 mails a day coming in. There is not a systems admin in the world who is going to sit there and go over that lot !!!
