Dear Sirs,

Whenever I am sending mail, I am not getting any acknowledgement as to
whether that mail has reached or not.

Is there any way available to know the status of the mail.

Kindly help for which I will be obliged.

Thanks

ARUN

Generally speaking: no, there isn`t. There are certain programs that
allow you to set up such a configuration, but I don`t think you would
like to set them up. You could try and find out if your mailserver and
that of the addressee can "negotiate" in a way that allows receipts,
but generally speaking: if the mail doesn`t bounce back to you, it`s
safe to assume that it has been delivered.

Later,
Robin
