Andre,
I know AOL offers a form of "delivery confirmation", but it is limited to mail between AOL users, and not the internet at large. In fact, as far as I know, internet mail systems have no mechanism for such feedback, and since it's all FREE mail, there is really no one who's responsible for mail delivery.
Eudora & Netscape/Mozilla at least - don't know about others - allow for receipt confirmations - but require an email client at the far end that also supports it, plus the user at the far end has to have his/her mailer set so it at least gives the option of acknowledging receipt. (I remember the prefs of at least one of those clients gives the options "do not respond," "ask before responding," or "always respond" to return receipt requests - always respond is bad because it could confirm your address to spammers, but if they have it set to do not respond you won't get the receipt even if the message is received.)
I tested this a while ago sending from Eudora to a church address that distributes to 5 or 6 people. I got acknowledgments from the Netscape user & someone who gets her mail at work. No response from any of the AOL users, so I assume their client doesn't support it.
Mail does not appear to include this option.
In Eudora I believe it's the "RR" button at the top of a compose window.
Too long since I used Netscape to remember.
