             Bug #: 5821
           Summary: Allow Requesting different Delivery Status
                    Notifications per recipient
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: javamail
           Version: 1.4.5
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P5
         Component: smtp
        AssignedTo: shannon_at_kenai.com
        ReportedBy: Revivius_at_kenai.com
                CC: issues_at_javamail.kenai.com

Java Mail API doesn't provide a way to request "different DSN(Delivery Status
Notification)s per-recipient" as explained by RFC1891. There is
SMTPMessage.setNotifyOptions(int options) but it applies to all recipients in
the message.

Suggested workaround is sending multiple 'copies' of the message with a single
recipient and desired DSN for that recipient. This is inconvenient because:
- Number of recipients and/or message size may be considerably high
- Sending multiple messages will create different instances (with different
Message-IDs) that will be harder to track (mainly for administration purposes
on server and client)

Requested enhancement is to allow specifying DSN for each recipient.
