What was actually said

“There seem to be a lot of weird cases where email should NOT actually be rejected… users send support emails that we never see.”

Background and pain

The pain

Communities run on email; rejection rules are opaque and real customer complaints vanish.

A buildable angle

The opening

Deliverability monitoring: bounce classification, recovered tickets, daily digest.

How to validate it

  1. Read the whole thread and note the recurring scenarios — repetition is the density of the need.
  2. Search existing tools around "deliverability / support" and check which single step they actually cover.
  3. Put up a one-line landing page, share it back to Discourse Meta, and see whether anyone asks about pricing.
