Maybe the League is using 10m@arrl.org for some other purpose and the
log is sitting in an unmonitored mailbox.
This situation is very unfortunate.

Most servers send back a Delivery Status Notification (DSN) saying the mail was
undeliverable. I'm rather surprised the ARRL server doesn't, as it is very
useful for both informing someone they sent the message to the wrong address,
and for diagnosing any mail delivery problems that occur. It also violates the
applicable standards (RFC 5321), but it seems a lot of people are willing to
throw the baby out with the bathwater when it comes to fighting spam.

Since it was not correctly addressed to a valid postbox at ARRL.ORG,
the ARRL email server couldn't/wouldn't reply - I'm certain that domain
(and every email domain) gets sent THOUSANDS of emails sent to
"something"@xxxx.com", as spammers iterate that "something" trying
to find a valid address, and it's certainly not in anyone's interest
to send back another email that their "something" is not valid.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Logs - Upload don't email
I'm pleased to note that more and more contest organisers have a log upload
facility rather than just accepting log email attachments. In view of what
happened to me recently I will be uploading when ever possible.
My wee tale of woe - as usual operated in the 2012 ARRL 10m contest, sent my log by email
and sat back. Having just checked the scores I noted my log was not counted. A little
research revealed that I had sent my log to 10m@arrl.org instead of 10meter@arrl.org.
Okay it's all my fault, but surprisingly the ARRL email server didn't send me a
"your email is undeliverable" message.
I'm annoyed with myself because my log of 919 contacts and claimed score of
441,100 would have been the second highest DX CW HP score.
Had a quad heart bi-pass operation just four weeks before the contest, so was
feeling quite pleased with myself that I had managed to operate for 30 hours.
Oh well, there's always another year, but you can betcha I'll be uploading my
log not emailing it!
