Can anybody help me in getting a solution for email management, which can have a provision for email trasing(somewhat also called as "Auto - Response").

Means if we send a mail to person 'X' & that person sends it to person to 'Z' & person 'Z' send the same mail to person 'A'. When all this mailing is being done,the person 'X' {being a head} is being informed through some header email (person's "X") that the person 'Z' & 'A' has seen this email.

I hope you have understood our requirements. Kindly help us in this junction by giving us the code in VB or VB Script.

Kindly tell us if we need any other requirements.

Please treat it an SOS.

I will be waiting for your reply.

Gagan,

X can get confirmation when Z opens the mail, but if Z forwards it to A, X gets no confirmation of that. One way is for the mail to have a hyperlink to something on the network, then no matter who opens the mail, the hyperlink will be accessed, kind of like a web bug.

You can get confirmation from the first recipient by checking the Read receipt required and/or Delivery receipt required from the File/Properties on your message before you send it. Other than that you need to write some code that will send a message to someone@somewhere.xxx when the e-mail is opened. Then assuming this gets through any Firewall/Virus scanner that the recipient may have you would have the required confirmation from each reader.

It is unlikely that anyone in their right mind would publish VBA code or a VB script for such a procedure on this site as you would have a possible starting point for anyone to write mass mailing type virus code. That is hopefully not what you were after ?

There's no way to accomplish this via Visual Basic or any other coding.

Anything written on e-mail or on the Internet, you can count on it being relayed just about anywhere. Nothing confidential should be relayed though these methods -- without encryption.
