acme/mail sends by handing messages to upas/marshal, and doesn't check
for return status.  The assumption is probably that if marshal fails,
you'll see its sysfatal message in an acme error window, and once
marshal has handed the message to upas/send it will either be
successfully delivered or you'll get an asynchronous bounce message
back by email.

Just last week I hit a case where that assumption wasn't true.  My file
system became full, so upas/send couldn't queue the message. Sadly
it couldn't send a bounce message back either, because ... the file
system was full.  Even more sadly, I missed the "file system full"
message, because my terminal didn't have a console window for the
cpu server open.
