If I expect an automated email (e-ticket from airline or something similar),
what will guarantee that it comes through? Who is going to answer the
challenge? Should I whitelist half of internet or look through "trapped"
mail queue for 10000 users every day? :)

Hi Dennis,

It's not a problem per se, just not very useful.
In a business context, in particular in a non-English speaking country,
the challenge will often cause confusion. Perhaps not for techies, but
e.g. for secretaries, and other non-IT functions.  And most businesses
have more of those than techies.
So a TMDA challenge is often at first a time-waster, and later just
ignored.
