Last modified: 2008-11-03 21:39:33 UTC
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=233077 The ability to request an S/MIME receipt for a message digitally signed as many beneficial function. Firstly it enables the sender to track their message. The recipient has no control over weather a S/MIME receipt is sent in return. This is a function ALL mail servers. It provides the sender the ability to be informed as to weather a message was opened and on what date by who, it also provides information if the message was deleted without being read. This is an integral part of the email tracking option offered by MS since 2000 in bother outlook Express and Otlook full version. I am happy to show you the benifits and return tracking messages from one of my MS PC's where all users have digital signatures validated by the CA. A GroupWise mail server will also send back S/MIME receipt unknown to the recipient. We need to compete quickly with Outlook and is this may be a start to further enhance the product as when demonstrated to a corporate MS collogue may function they found lacking. There are several outstanding enhancements for consideration over version 10.0-10.2.
