I agree with Dan that DSN doesn't do what was mainly wanted from it. The
old sendmail Return-receipt did a better job at delivery receipts and Dans
VERP is soooo much better for mailing-list maintainence. Unfortunately my
company uses Outlook/Exchange - so DSN is needed so pratty delivery-receipts
work...
The worse thing is DSN is so convoluted that it's impossible to write
some wrapper around it to do the job.
