Re: ESNDMAIL in RPG - Verification

["Brad Stone" <brad@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

There is no way to be 100% sure that an email is received
on the other end unless the person who gets it calls you to
let you know.  

There are ways to received a notification when the email is
read (Mail Disposition Notification) but that relies
entirely on the client who receives the email.  If they
have turned that feature off, then there is nothing that
can be done.  If you want this feature, you need to make
sure the mail package you're using supports in an inserts
the proper headers.

Even if you were to traces the communications to the
recipient, it wouldn't be 100%... and if you're using a
mail router, it makes it even more difficult.
