It would mean I could use DSN even when my client doesn’t have support for it. This was a thing with Sendmail, using the RRTImpliesDSN option which would synthesise DSN success where Return-Receipt-To was among the headers of incoming mail.


Nowadays such behaviour may be considered as a bad practice, and users
could protest against this idea. I suggest you to look through RFC 3438,
"Recommendations for Automatic Responses to Electronic Mail".

and around. Fuctionality of "autoreply" tranport may be implemented and/or
extended with external script, which gets mail via redirect router with
"unseen" option.
