You're not the first to discuss what the final delivery status of the
email was. It is curious to me, since I never discussed that topic, nor
did the original poster ask about the final delivery status. He asked
about whether it was accepting for delivery.

Is this some obsession, or is it some FAQ such that people jump to that
assumption?

Just curious.
