Trust email proof of delivery?

priesh · 25 Sep 2009 at 07:08

Hey - How do i know if an email i sent in trust has actually gone through? Does the system tell me if it bounces?

I sent one to HarryPainful yesterday but not sure if he got it or not...

Its a can of worms, e-mail isn’t a guaranteed service.

It might have bounced and you might get a message telling you so or you might not.

Also it could have been delivered and the recipient hasn’t checked yet.

Its a wonder its used at all for anything important given how flaky the actual operating rules are.

If you send it via Microsoft Outlook, you can ask for a receipt to be sent once the recipient has read it. I do this with important e-mails.

And that relates to the OcUK Trust email system how exactly?
