I’m looking through some /admin/email-logs/rejected logs and, although I’ve only been through a few, some of the rejections have been replies to topics whose titles have changed. Could this have been the reason? They are listed as Email::Receiver::BadDestinationAddress. Another one is Email::Receive…

Do email replies get rejected if the topic title has since been changed?

No.

When a reply via email to posts comes in, the replied-to post is looked up using the VERP, not the subject.
