A subscriber may select delivery options after the destination is entered and before the message is
sent. Once selected, a delivery option may be cancelled by dialing its number again (e.g., dialing El
the first time marks a message priority; dialing q again removes the priority marking). It is, therefore,
possible to have different delivery options for different destinations.
Confidential
A subscriber may mark a message confidential and thereby prevent the recipient from sending a copy
of the message to any other subscriber.
Priority
A subscriber may mark a message for priority delivery. New priority messages will be presented for
review after broadcast messages, but ahead of non-priority messages in the recipient’s mailbox.
Proof of Delivery
If it is important for a subscriber to know precisely when a message is received, proof of delivery may
be requested. When the recipient listens to the message, the subscriber who sent the message will be
sent a short message giving the date and time the recipient listened to the message. The confirmation
notice appears before the main menu in the subscriber’s mailbox.
Notification of Non-delivery
Subscribers may request that the system notify them if messages they sent are not listened to within a
pre-set period of time. If the allotted time period passes and a message remains unheard, the sender
receives an “notification of non-delivery” with the name of the intended recipient. The time interval
used for the notification of non-delivery feature is specified by the system administrator on the Class
of Service programming screen.
NOTE: Messages may be marked for proof of delivery, or notification of non-delivery, but
not both.
For purposes of proof of delivery, and notification of non-delivery, a message is considered “re-
ceived” as soon as the recipient listens to any part of the message.
Use of this option on too many messages may result in a subscriber’s mailbox becoming inundated
with confirmations. It should only be used when it is essential to know exactly when a message has
been received.
