Delivery receipts are part of the SMTP protocol and not POP. You use SMTP
for sending mail and POP to retrieve mail that is already delivered to your
mailbox.
Delivery receipts are outlined in RFC2298 (http://www.imc.org/rfc2298). As
per the RFC the sending of a delivery receipt is dependent upon whether the
sending agent chooses to comply or ignore the request.
So, you would need to add the appropriate headers to the outgoing message
and then wait for the delivery status to be delivered to your mailbox (and
it might not come at all!). Also, usually servers reply when the mail has
been delivered to the remote-end server and not when the user has actually
retrieved his/her mail. So, at best you would just be getting notified when
the mail is actually in the recipients mailbox.
