Why dont i get notification of invalid email addresses returned to me?

When sending as many as100 emails out, some will have an invalid address (bad spelling, .com instead of .net, etc.). I used to get a returned message containing "MAILER_DAEMON" showing the invalid email address. In one case I sent an email to myself and added two emails with invalid address. I only received my email. I do use message filters routing to many folders, and in checking all folders I didn't find any of the invalid emails or the MAILER-DEAMON message.

Typically the error is generated by the recipients SMTP server or a SMTP server in between, but not Thunderbird.
