Example of Delivery Notification using the Richmail extension

Ricardo Santos

Question

As described on the RFC 2298, it is possible to request for a delivery notification on a mail message. If the mail client supports it, this notification is sent as the user opens the message for the first time.
For this, the message must have the header field Disposition-Notification-To: followed by the mail address where the notification is to be sent to.
Using the Richmail extension this can be accomplished by adding the prefix "Disposition-Notification-To: email@xpto.pt"+NewLine() to the message returned by RichmailCreate.

On the supplied oml the notification is sent back to the sender, i.e., to the From address.

Thank you for the tip, Marco.

Regards,
Ricardo

PS: The supplied oml is a stripped version of the Richmail sample available on the extranet.
