Read-receipt or Tracking

[msilva1985]

Hi, we are hosting providers and use it as tool to DirectAdmin. Some of our customers have been upset about not being able to receive a notification each time reading their emails sent. So the recipient of the email you read, you send a notification to the sender. Each time you select the option, the mail bounces back as if the box was invalid.

I've been researching and from what I saw is to rewrite the header of the mails by adding Disposition-Notification-To: or something

Although we could not find the solution, hopefully we can help

Sincerely,

You can certainly add a header to all outgoing emails by using exim, but you'll have to make custom modifications to your exim.conf file.

Or you can do what most of us do: you can set this in your local email client; every email client I know of allows you to set a switch for each email you send, to get back a read notification.

However none of this will work if your email recipients have replies turned off, and many do.

How to modificate exim.conf

Hi Jeff, I would like you to explain how you could modify exim.conf to modify the header of each email.

Thanks,

Matias

Unfortunately that's beyond the scope of the support I can offer at no charge on the DirectAdmin forums.

You may be able to learn enough to do it yourself by looking here. Or you can hire us or someone else to create custom code for you.

Or perhaps someone who's already done it can offer a reply here.
