Ah, we're back to a patronizing tone? Let me start an over/under but then
about when you pull the luddite rabbit out of your hat again. But I
digress...
Documentation of what, you ask? Well maybe of what I suggested before about
half a dozen times (and I can also send you snail mail letter if that helps
with your attention deficit disorder): list which mailers are known to,
respectively, fail and work. As helpful guidance, not in a prescriptive. And
Debian will buy you liability insurance in case you're afraid it doesn't work
with a mailer you listed,
All that is suggested is that you bloody grep through the 'accepted' and
'failed' piles and maybe count the occurrences. That's all.
You got the data. Use it. Save a kitten or two.

Bog standard. Like the ones that worked for ten times, and then mysteriously
failed. Because of a change you controlled, didn't announce, and refuse to
document.
Bog standard, as you say.
