Let's consider how TMDA treats a sender confirmation for a message
which it considers ``Confirmed/Actioned'':

  * TMDA does not deliver the message to the DELIVERY destination as
    it assumes this had already been done.

  * TMDA auto-responds with something to the effect of ``Thanks, but
    this message has already been delivered''.

In Maildir terms, ``cur'' holds messages that the MUA has noticed.
This doesn't mean they have been read. So, if I fire up Mutt on my
pending Maildir, all messages in ``new'' are moved to ``cur''.

So, the effect would be that TMDA would not deliver any message seen
by the user's MUA, regardless of later successful confirmation. I'm
not sure this is behavior the user would expect or want, do you?
