No. You get me wrong, repeatedly. I'm asking for a "proof" that a message has reached a single role. It does not matter if more then one person can actually be the role.

Hm, do you mean, it is enough for you if the last server sends a Delivery Status Notification (DSN), that it delivered the mail to one or more mailboxes? Are DSNs not part of a RFC? Or do you want a notification if the recipient (and in case of a role every recipient) opens the mail? While I accept the first one, the last one should be out of question. Even in your snail mail example you will only get a notification that the letter was delivered, not that the recipient has read it.

For DSN mutt offers you the variables dsn_notify and dsn_return. But if I understand the manual correctly, it all depends on the MTA to honor them.

Shade and sweet water!
