Article ID: Q141946

The information in this article applies to:


 * The Microsoft Network versions 1.0, 1.05, 1.2, 1.3, 2.0, 2.5

SUMMARY
Delivery receipts are not available for e-mail sent from MSN, The Microsoft Network, over the Internet.

MORE INFORMATION
Delivery receipts are generated by the mail server that contains the recipient's mailbox. MSN cannot determine the recipient's mail server before sending the mail and cannot assume that the server supports delivery receipts. Therefore, MSN cannot safely format and send a request for a delivery receipt.
