Re: SMTP: confirmation of delivery

[Luis Rodriguez <luisro58@xxxxxxxxx>]

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?
