    There is nothing built-in that can do this. It would be almost impossible to build an architecture for this really. How would the system know if the message was never sent?
    I think the best you can do is have the user create an appt in their mailbox to check and if the message wasnt there, then they would need to check quarantine and if not there, contact the sender?
