2. How do you assure that my message was delivered?

Your message is encoded with a special Message Identifier. This allows us to track your message with 100% accuracy.

When our mail servers connect to the destination mail servers we immediately know if the message was successfully delivered or not.

If we cannot confirm delivery, we assume the message was lost and our servers automatically send another message to replace it.
