AI agent catches sites falsely reporting emails as sent
Original: My AI agent caught most of our sites saying sent while no email left the server
A developer reports that an AI agent auditing their systems found most of their sites logging emails as successfully sent even though no email actually left the server. The write-up, titled 'The function returned true,' highlights how code can report success while the underlying delivery silently fails, and how automated agents can surface bugs that manual monitoring missed.
Why now: It raises concern about silent failures in email delivery and the growing use of AI agents to audit infrastructure.
