This is not implemented.
Bummer...
However, Postfix 2.3+ can send a positive delivery status notification
on request. This requested via the user agent.
It looks like TBird doesn't support this,
Correct. See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=93085
The bottom line is that TBird 3 will have DSN support. The current
"Shredder" and "Eudora 8" variants using 3.0a1 support it.
so I guess the answer is to
tell him no, and if whatever it is is important, and he gets the
warning, to follow the message up with a phone call (he should be doing
that anyway for anything mission critical, but getting some people to
understand that email is not a 100% reliable communication medium is
sometimes difficult.
He may get a little help from using the "Return Receipt" feature. That's
done with headers and MUA's, so it is a bit less predictable than DSN's done
at the SMTP level. On the other hand, DSN depends on all MTA's in the path
supporting an extension to SMTP that some perceive as a threat to privacy
and/or security.
