MDN

Mail Disposition Notification - This field requests the status of the Internet Fax / E-mail message after delivery 
through the SMTP (Send Mail Transfer Protocol) transport system. Once the message has arrived at the 
Receiving station this data is used when the machine or user reads or prints the received Internet Fax or 
E-mail. For example, if the message is opened for reading or is printed the receiving station sends back a 
notification to the original sending machine or user.

The receiving station must support the MDN field in order to be able to send a notification report, otherwise 
the request will be ignored.

message will be printed (Example: “The message being sent to the machine was not in a TIFF-F format.”).
