Hi Wietse,
Thanks! That's different from what I read in that article then...
according to that article the remote mail server needs to support DSN as
well for the reports to be generated.
If what you are saying is correct, how can I go about diagnosing why I
am not receiving DSN "success" notices when mail is sent to this one
specific mail server I provided in my log output?

Nevermind, I have finally found an article that explains DSN from
behind the scenes. It is quite different than just a standard "250
OK" status message of course. Article was written in 1997
apparently, but still helpful

On to a different question, does Postfix have any features I am
unaware of that can still generate a "success" message if the remote
mail server responds with a "250"?<br>
Postfix will send DSN "success" notification when the remote server
does NOT announce DSN support.
If the server announces DSN support, then Postfix is no longer
responsible for sending DSN "success" notification.
