qconfirm performs this delivery confirmation process either sender based or message based.
qconfirm-check defers messages from unknown envelope senders temporarily, and sends a confirmation request message to the sender. The original message and all newer messages from the same sender will be deferred temporarily until a reply to the confirmation request is received. The messages bounce if queuelifetime has expired. New messages from the same sender do not result in new confirmation requests.
Once an envelope sender has confirmed a delivery, qconfirm-check permanently treats this envelope sender as known.
The messages bounce if queuelifetime has expired.
