Re: mail function

There are not a lot of guarantees. A big part of the problem is that you can't get instant feedback. Your mail server may queue the message and not even send it right away, or it could get sent, and your mail server doesn't find out for several minutes while the message goes out on the 'net and eventually bounces because the address is bad. There is probably a way you can get your mail server to inform you when a message fails to get delivered, but beyond that you probably can't do much.
