Message: [QUOTE="Ray19, post: 4603328"] Thanks Diane for your informed reply. I have unchecked the Read receipt request but have left the Delivery receipt request checked even though it doesn't seem to work for by situation. I don't want my recipients to get the idea that I don't trust them and want to know when they read a message. That sends the wrong message! However, I would like to know if the message was correctly delivered to a valid address so, just in case, I am leaving the Delivery receipt checked. I have an additonal question - Occasionally, I mistakenly enter an address incorrectly and send before I notice. When I do I seem to always, in time, get the following message delivered to my in-box from my att.yahoo POP3 ISP. "From: [email]MAILER-DAEMON@yahoo.com[/email] [mailto:MAILER-DAEMON@yahoo.com] Sent: Sunday, April 27, 2008 6:31 PM To: [email]sanray19-subscriptions@sbcglobal.net[/email] Subject: failure [email]noticeMAILER-DAEMON@yahoo.com[/email] Hi. This is the qmail-send program at yahoo.com. I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following addresses. This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out. <sanderson.ralph@sbcglobsl.net>: Sorry, I couldn't find any host by that name. (#4.1.2) I'm not going to try again; this message has been in the queue too long." My question is - If I send a message to an address that is no longer active, i.e., the recipient has changed the address or otherwise made it inactive, will I usually get such a message as the foregoing? If so, then I could assume that if no such message was returned that my e-mail was successfully delivered? If so, then this would be a back-handed way to obtain a delivery receipt -- by omission -- Is that correct? Because some of my recipients often change their e-mail addresses when they become overloaded with intrusions and sometimes fail to notify all their correspondents of such a change I am looking for a way to insure that my messages are delivered to an active e-mail address; and then I will assume that it is read. Any additional input would be appreciated. Ray19 [/QUOTE]
