Dear Paul,

thank you for that Information. I found the feature on the Lists
Administrationsite. Thats what i was looking for.
This is way more practical.

You may want to look at the message tracking feature. The "tracking message
by delivery status notification" setting might be helpful. I believe you need
to have list archives enabled for it to work and possibly other settings as
well. It's been a while since I played with it. This requires the receiving
mail server to support DSN, but I believe most do.


I wouldn't recommend the similar sounding "tracking message by message
disposition notification" as it prompts the user to indicate if they've read
the message which can be alarming to some. (It also requires the client to
support it and that's less common.)

Dear Harri Suutari,


thanks for your Reply. Sadly even on Loglevel 3 (highest) this Information
isn´t realy logged. I guess the only way to check this, is looking in the
Postfix Maillog for Entries that contain the delivery from the
List-Owner-Adress to the Members recipients Adresses for Success.


Isn´t there a more practical Solution?

You could try increasing the log level number for more verbose logging:
