I have made patch, which uses delivery status notification. This
will be probably included in some of next revision. I have not
found some posibility, how detect ob MTA knows this feature,
other than parsing respond to EHLO request. Delivery status
notification is very nice feature, I am using only notify=failure and
the list is shielded before warnigs like, mail was not delivered
within 4 hours and so.
cheers
