Receive mail delivery confirmation

[asarkar]

Hi All,

I am using the mail function of PHP to send a mail. If the mail function returns 1, I know that the mail has been successfully sent, otherwise I know that there was some error while sending the mail.

Tracking the return value of the mail function, I can display a message appropriately.

But my problem is, how do I find out whether the mail has been successfully delivered to the intended receiver. How do I track that in PHP?

Any early help will be highly appreciated.

Regards,
Anirban

Once PHP sends it off to the operating system and its sendmail program, PHP has no knowledge of what happens to it. You could possibly use the [man]IMAP[/man] functions to check whatever mailbox would receive and undeliverable/rejected email notifications.
