Please folks - don't argue with me - I'm the wrong person! The recipient who is receiving these emails, ie the person being "bugged" is demanding that they are "buggable". If they demand it and it's a requirement for providing them service then I have to give it to them if I want the business.
The users are on satellite dialup and barely have enough bandwidth to download a few KB of emails, they certainly can't trigger web bugs to trigger read receipts.
Look, I can argue against the idea easily, personally my objection is mail loops, but the point is that the customer demands it, and at present that prevents me bidding for certain types of business... Basically the customer just wants to repro what they got with Exchange
kiss him goodbye with exchange
what do you expect? only some idiots are using such "features"
even if you find a opensource solution yiu can imagine how well tested it would be and how many troubles you will have after the setup
"if I want the business" -> do you need this business to survive? if no -> kiss him goodbye, if yes -> i doubt you will not survive
