After sending a set of questions to two of our usual contacts at the company, we received a pair of automated emails stating that our correspondence was “undeliverable”, that the messages had been “bounced by administrator” and as a result had permanently failed.
Wtf? What ever happened to journalistic principles like protecting your sources?!

Wtf? What ever happened to journalistic principles like protecting your sources?!
These are likely PR people, not anonymous sources.
In what way is saying emails bounced endangering their sources?
"we tried to contact the company and couldn't for technical reasons" isn't revealing any big secrets.
"We sent this amount of messages and they bounced with these specific error messages" would give a mail admin enough information to find the sources
The emails were forwarded to "support@codefusion.technology"
