It's hard to see how you can know that no onecan respond via this Craigslist anonymizing function. It is unfortunately true that some responses will not get through.

Craigslist says that in an effort to curb abuse of its email servers and limit the amount of spam inflicted upon its users, it does not accept email from computers with dynamically assigned IP addresses, or hosts that have generic DNS setup.

Although there are steps that the responders could take, there's nothing you can do on your end. Sorry.

You'll find more information on this Craigslist page.
