Send all the E-mail Messages with the S/MIME Receipt Request


The S/MIME request Receipt is a feature in the Outlook Application that can be used by a sender to confirm that, the message that he sent was received unaltered by the intended receiver. The receipt also contains information like, when was the message delivered and who was the person who read it. This information will be sent to the sender as a separate mail into his Inbox. So, let us see how we can send the S/MIME request Receipt along with the Mail.


NOTE: - To use this feature, you must possess a Digital id first and foremost. Refer article create Digital id.
