MDN and mupliple recipients
in [Postfix]
|
From: Dimitrios Karapiperis on 18 Mar 2010 10:01 Hi When someone sends an e-mail to multiple recipients and requests read receipt the MDN mechanism works fine but on the receipt message itself, the sender receives that recipient1(a)domain.tld, recipient2(a)domain.tld have read the message without knowing who exactly is the reader; recipent1 or recipient2; Is there anyting he/she can do to receive the exact reader and not the ambigous that both did it. (2 mails ,as many are the recipients) I think that the MDN headers are inserted by the client.and postfix has little or no impact on the whole porcess. Dimitrios Karapiperis

Any ideas about these notifications? Just send an e-mail to rec1(a)domain.tld,rec2(a)domain.tld with read receipts. Check then the receipts. Thanks in adavnce Dimitrios

They can't be. Postfix is a doctor not escalator (oops an MTA not a mail client). Since you are discussing *read* notifications, and messages are read by MUAs long after they are delivered into a mail store by the MTA, the MTA is not involved in read notifications. It is clear that read notices are sent (optionally) by the MUA that displays the message to the user, Postfix may convey such messages to the recipient, but it is not responsible for their content. -- Viktor. P.S. Morgan Stanley is looking for a New York City based, Senior Unix system/email administrator to architect and sustain our perimeter email environment. If you are interested, please drop me a note.
