tsnet - email with return receipt

Post by jsburnett » Sun May 28, 2023 6:15 pm

Hey,
Was wondering if there was a parameter to add to tsnet to request return receipt for emails sent and or to be notified when the email is viewed.
Or is there another way to handle this function?

Why?
I am sending email via a stack.
Was hoping to get something back, email return if email is opened confirmin receipt of email.
I assume if the email 'isnt bounced back' with errors, it was delievered.
But some people just dont check their spam folder ... and if I don't get confirmed receipts I figure I can then target those people with a call asking them to check their inbox/spam folder and list me as 'nonspam' on their email clients.

If you could point me in the correct direction to solve these questions, would appreciated.

You need to add the header Disposition-Notification-To but not all email clients are setup to deliver the read receipt.

Code: Select all

Disposition-Notification-To: <emailAddress>
