All (I think) email servers produce data on an email received which can be viewed by the sender if they select that option. They typically also show some or all of the intermediate router information.
This information is normally held in a log on the receiving mail server. You can configure
Back to your question, My view is that you can easily produce a fake "email delivery report" even showing the recipient's IP address. If the sender's email provider can produce a report then most courts would accept that, if the report only came from the sender then it is not a proof but a court might accept it (as a balance of probability) unless you have some evidence to suggest otherwise.
Thanks Clock. How would I distinguish between a report from the sender compared to one from thesender's email provider?
