>Yupp, that was one of the main reasons put forward. Our hackish way to circumvent the issue, sending in BCC to specific logging adress on sending machine was not deemed "safe" or "clear" enough. IMO having a return of the mail sent out is better proof of reliable sending, but stupidity ruled strongly that day on the other side

That's a reasonable hack, too bad you weren't dealing with reasonable people :( Depending on the mail system you might be able to configure a rule to route those BCCs to some appropriate folder, maybe "Sent items" ;)
