[OT] Email Notifications
|

| Mike Blezien 2007-07-12, 9:59 pm |
| Hello,
we have been using the "Disposition-Notification-To: <from> in the mail
header("Request Read Receipt") to be notified when an email has been received,
but this does require the recipient to respond Yes or No to send response.
I was just wondering if there was another way to track a mailing to see if it
was read, automatically
or other means of tracking email that has been received/read without the
recipient intervention?
Are there any type of Perl Mail modules that can do this, we use MIME::Lite,
among some of the other more popular modules, but haven't come accross a
programable way of doing this. Any suggestion would be appreciated.
TIA,
Mike(mickalo)Blezien

Is there a way to force your readers to comply with your request?
The word "request" says no. Grow up!

You're asking how to spy on people. Can't be done. Shouldn't be done.

I should have clarified. This is for a client who is sending out a new marketing
email to his subscribers ONLY, listed in a mysql database and NO OTHER people.
So this is only being sent to his members, NOT SPAM. But as stated, it probably
is not a very good idea.
Thx's

| If you're using email, it can't be done.
What you /could/ do is set up a message system on a website and send
messages there. You can email them when a message gets sent and tell
them to log in to read the message.
In that scenario, you could monitor who read the message and who didn't.
