The Acknowledgement email acts as a placeholder until the Registered Receipt email is generated.

Immediately after sending an RMail message, the sender is issued an Acknowledgement email denoting their email was received at the RPost cloud. This email is the sender’s proof-of-sending and acts as proof that the message was successfully inducted into the RPost Cloud for processing.

Acknowledgement email components

The following are the components of an Acknowledgement Email:

- To: recipients in the sender’s “To” field

Read this article to learn about the Client Code.
