Author how to confirm receipt of email

i've got a client who wants accurate logs of email delivery status. the
email is being generated via IIS6 smtp. the clients wants to know if the
email was received, bounced, blocked by spam filters. i've already done a
little research and it looks like this kind of info isn't something the smtp
log files can reliably give me, which is what i told the project manager.
the project manager has now instructed me to look into using CDOSYS's
CdoDSNOptions Enum to see if we can generate reliable received receipts.
from what i've read, however, delievery confirmation is not part of the SMTP
protocol, so it doesn't matter what methods i try to use, i can't count on
getting reliable received notifications, can i?

tks in advance.
