Re: SMTP: confirmation of delivery

We have the same issue raised by some of our customers. We typically 
use, say, an Exchange server instead of the built-in one, and that 
server will send back a response that all is good. But if the server 
doesn't process it, we will never know.

I was told today that the admin of said Exchange server can do an email 
trace to see what happened - correlate the time and email address, maybe.

Hope that helps a little!
