Hi, to be able to automatically send a reply to delivery confirmation request messages, the program needs to reliably sort out confirmation request messages from other delivery notifications (bounces). It also needs to make sure that the confirmation request message is not forged.
To make this possible, I suggest that confirmation request messages are created with a special Message-ID. The Message-ID of the request message is created from the Message-ID of the message that causes the confirmation request, by prepending ``confirm-'', and appending the local host part[0]. The latest qconfirm version does this, and it would be nice if tmda and ask could do this also. Presuming that confirmation request messages are sent to the envelope sender (should be self-evident), qconfirm then would be able to auto-confirm delivery of messages to tmda and ask users. See the documentation[1] for details if you are interested in how qconfirm does this. Thanks for considering, Gerrit.
