You miss the point.

You're doing the equivalent of posting a one line
"my system crashed...why?" message.

Without information, it's difficult to diagnose the problem.

Your email may have been rejected due to the problems UTC is
having (see Jeff's post today).

Or ... as seen more and more often ... it may be rejected because
the recipient thinks your system is facilitating spam (or that your
message is spam).

Or ... maybe your mail had a "sensitive" word in it that triggered a filter
(no, I don't think UTC uses such).

Or ... it may be something else.

In any case, the rejection information may provide useful clues.

Here's a tip: you should have provided information upon request ...
even if it was just via private email.
