Always? If emails are not answered you'll usually notice unless you're a Spammer

MS live/hotmail/outlook would silently drop - although not for this DMARC, that gets a straight bounce.

Means you're not using your email seriously. For example, to send CVs in response to job postings.

I send up to 20 email per day to people who have issues with their package build scripts, and I have no idea whether they ignore me because they stopped using the distro or because mail got dropped.

Does it ever get silently dropped or just filed straight in their spam folder?

Silently dropped in my case.. that’s why I stopped self-hosting. Email hosting is sadly now a cartel

And that happens even with DKIM and SPF correctly set-up?
