    I have a standard set up with not too much special, and have tried to send email with a delivery confirmation, and a read receipt, with a priority of high, and nothing ever comes back. No confirmation, nothing.

    I'm hesitant to ask for a flat out anwser, but would really appreciate any directions that you might be able to give me. Should it show somewhere in a server log? Which one? Is there a setting in postfix or the smpt / imap that needs to be set up to enable this?

    Thanks in advance.

    Take a look at the mail log (in the /var/log/ directory).

    mail.log

    Here's the entry for the message sent as a test. not quite sure what I'm looking for (or at) as I am quite new to this process. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks in advance.
