I am curious here. What do you do when you get hundreds of confirmations
back ? Moreover, What do you do if someone from the list does not confirm
the delivery ???

On he other hand, why don't use the confirm delivery to send back a BIG

paid for it and is not SPAM because they are asking for it. Think about
the possibilities.
