"Not deliverable" is a bit broad. What happens if a mail server is
down when you test? What happens if the mail server accepts messages
to that address only if they are identifiable as replies to a
news-group article? IMHO, any wording that refers to deliverable
should make it clear that such cases are not to be rejected as
undeliverable.
I don't see equivalent problems with authentication.
