I've done this before. It's more a case if you don't know if your email has mistakenly been put into the spam folder.

- sonoffett 15y agoMe too. I consider myself technically well versed and I have setup mail servers before. Whenever I send an important email with an attachment I always include the phrase "Please reply on receipt" just to ensure that the other end gets it. The mail server can be unreliable by ignoring the message if it thinks its spam, especially so when you have attachments (every mail sever has it's own file size/extension limitations). You would think that there would be a notification if the message was ignored or not delivered but notifying by default can be a bad idea since attackers can easily spoof (I'm ignoring SPF TXT records) the sender's address and then use your mail sever to DDoS someone else. Also, due to the sheer volume of SPAM you would tie up considerable resources responding to legitimate senders.
