Write my own log - not bad. 'Cause this is on a shared server and the odds of me getting access to the raw email server logs are....

BUT - Before I make an entry in my home-made log, I need to know that the message was actually sent by the email server. I'm not talking about receipt by the other party, but does Sendmail return some sort of confirmation that at least the email was in fact dispatched from the outgoing email server? I need somthing more than "my script processed this request". I need "the outgoing email server confirms that this request was received from my script and the email dispatched". Or at the very least, "this request was successfully submitted to the outgoing email server and the email is in queue to be dispatched".
