I'm not sure of that - is it any worse than accepting a message with a 
2xx response? 'Delivered' means it has been dumped in a user's mailbox, 
not that it has been read or anything so it doesn't give any more 
information other than the final SMTP server accepting the message.

If it does cause problems, those would probably happen for any scalable 
delivery notification system dreamt up for JMAP as well.
