My users think mail is an instanteous 120% reliable mechanism .... they think
as soon as they send out a message, its delivered.  When a machine is down,
and mail doesn't get delivered in a day (thats what our bounce back is set as),
they think mail is flaky since it takes so long to get it back.

One alternative is to set the bounce-back to 1hr (which I'm leery to do)

Another is to use the Return-Receipt-To: header for critical message ..but
sendmail bounces back with "Returned Mail" .. is there a way to have a
subject of "Receipt"?

Any other way to do this out there?
