Message Dispensation Notification

A message disposition notification (MDN) is a receipt document that contains the original message ID and status information about the original message. MDNs can be signed or unsigned and provide non-repudiation of receipt or just message status. MDNs are sent synchronously during the same communication session or asynchronously during a later session.
