mtbc: maze I (white-red)

A nice aspect of not using a large ISP's mail provision is that I get to see the mail server logs. In particular, if somebody did not get an e-mail from me, I can see evidence of that their system accepted the message (or not) then pursue the matter accordingly. It occurred to me that, as I use Gnus for my e-mail client, which is very programmable, it ought to be possible, for each sent message, to grab relevant server logs before they expire and store them alongside the message itself. A bit of elisp and ssh and grep would probably go a long way in my case, though still more than I will get around to implementing myself. Still, I expect that many others would also like such a feature, so it seemed odd that I had not noticed other mention of it.
