Who cares? All the end user sees is that, without having messed with the
system in any way, her email didn't get to the destination and she didn't
receive a bounce either. I.e. it's "lost".
Whether a hacker/guru can recover the email 2 years later or not is beside
the point.

around bugs in proprietary systems without even bothering to try and get
those bugs fixed.
