You are confusing delivery notices with post-delivery notices.

It of course makes sense that the original author be notified if the message
never made it as far as the list. If, however, it is deemed important that
the author be notified of failure to be delivered to *the end user*, the proper
tool in this case is:
3798 Message Disposition Notification. T. Hansen, Ed., G. Vaudreuil,
