Delivery reports and read receipts in PHP mail

For the reading confirmations:

You have to add the X-Confirm-Reading-To header.

X-Confirm-Reading-To: <address>

For delivery confirmations:

You have to add the Disposition-Notification-To header.

For usage details see RFC 3798.


General tip for stuff like this:

Use the mail client of your choice to generate an e-mail with the desired parameters, send it to yourself and look at the mail source.

There you can find the necessary headers added by the feature you are looking for. Then read the RFC or google for specific details on the header in question.
