#4Oh, this is good to know! I haven't encountered this issue personally yet, but maybe once I've updated my mailserver, I won't encounter it in the future.
Now to figure out how to stop the same thing happening in SMS.

That would be a pretty suboptimal user experience for both parties, don't you think?

The UX problem is you send an e-mail, and someone "thumbs up" a response, and then you block the response and assume that they didn't care to respond, while they think they have responded.

I just tested with an Exchange domain and nope, the reaction email has only standard headers and a bunch of x-ms- headers that are the same as for a regular email from that domain. In particular, it has an `x-ms-publictraffictype: Email` header that regular emails also have, and the envelope content-type and inner content-types are also identical (`multipart/alternative` and `text/plain; charset="us-ascii"` / `text/html; charset="us-ascii"` respectively).

The distance between "didn't care to respond" and a thumbs up emoji response is measured in angstroms.
