Re: SMTP: confirmation of delivery

Rob,

The problem, as I see it, is that it is very difficult to really confirm an
email's delivery. I can know when my message leaves my system but, what
happens if the user has blocked automatic delivery confirmation (sometimes
is a good anti-spam defense)? Or if the receiving email server is blocking
(for one reason or another) that particular user?

Has anyone written a bolt on to the standard IBM utilities like SNDDST or
QTmmSendMail that analyses journals or whatnot and ties that to a
confirmation of delivery?
Let's say we have a customer that acts like emailed invoices didn't get
there, and keeps pushing back the dates until they finally hit when we've
purged the mail server framework journals.

I wonder if periodic monitoring for
C2 R [1]<xxx@xxxxxxx>
and tie that row back to the matching send and then record that job and
stuff would work?
