I did such tests in too. (without autoresponder and without public 
test-service).

But the thing is: The "Deutsche Telekom" hasn't still made their homework.

And it comes worse: The second part of your statement is not true.
I get no error message, I get no message at all.

Normal users would think the email was delivered.

May be the Deutsche Telekom is not alone, but that is a bad excuse.
