Are there any services or ways of verifying that an e-mail is reaching its recipient? I am using ActiveMailer and it works well but I may need to start ensuring that e-mails are delivered to the address specified. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

You could look into setting a ''return receipt'' header (google for specifics) and those clients that have it enabled will send an email back saying "got it". I always turn that stuff off though. Not sure what normal clients do by default. Point being it isn''t guaranteed to work. Other than putting a link in the email that the user clicks on, no. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Thanks Philip. That''s what I had assumed but was hoping I would get lucky =) On Mar 13, 2008, at 2:19 PM, Philip Hallstrom wrote:> Are there any services or ways of verifying that an e-mail is reaching > its recipient?
