Checking if an email was sent successfully using the Track Delivery tool
We are only responsible for an email message up to the point at which it is accepted by the foreign mail system. Once we receive acknowledgement from the foreign system that it has been received successfully, our servers log the transmission as a success.
You can check this yourself by clicking on the Track Delivery icon in cPanel. The Track Delivery tool can also be useful for diagnosing issues with outgoing email - such as why the receiving email server may be rejecting an email.
