Package: claws-mail
Version: 3.11.1-3+deb8u1
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

Some MUA offer the option to tell the MTA to request a DSN (Delivery Status 
Notification)
as soon as the email has been delivered to the destination server.

This can be helpful to provide a proof, that an email has been accepted by the 
destination server.

A quick search by Google showed, that the Developers of Claws-Mail somehow 
misunderstood the request
already made by users and considered a DSN something that a MTA is generating 
in case of a delivery
failure and not having anything to do with the MUA Claws-Mail.

So I want to clarify the request here:

DSN are defined IN RFC3461
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3461

Example SMTP Handshake of MUA to MTA requesting a DSN:

$ telnet localhost smtp
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
