No, I'm not. In almost all the cases I've seen in 25 years, it's the person who wants a delivery notification who was confused it - it's almost *never* of actual interest merely if the mail was *delivered*. What you *care* about is the *disposition* - if it was sent to a human, was it *read*? If it was sent to a daemon, was it *processed*? I'd be awfully curious to know what use-case it's actually interesting if the mail was *delivered* to all recipients, but *not* whether all recipients have actually read/processed the message. Phrased differently - when is it interesting to know that the mail has been delivered into an abandoned mailbox that hasn't been read in 6 months?
