Web UIs have a reliable network connection between the user and the
system, such that when the user completes an action, they can see for
certain it has been done. Email cannot achieve that reliability, not
even in principle, and clearly not in practice.

Unless we've gone through all our bounce logs to see the rate at which
legitimate mails are blocked, we have no idea how well this system is
working.
