If a relay doesn't accept posts from random pubkeys (usually for spam prevention purposes).... how could gossip test that it would work well as an inbox? I can't create new events signed by your friends. Best I can do is make up a random keypair which will get rejected. Basically I think inbox suitability cannot be tested on such relays. Gossip will give such relays an X for inbox usage because I have no way to otherwise know, but the (OK, false, msg) message will be available as a hover-popup to users so that relays have a chance to explain themselves.

Find recent notes from my friends and send them to the relay?

I already did it the other way. Stop coming up with better ideas!

Dang I was too late

Is a box that doesn't let things in a good in-box?
