There's any number of "delivery receipt requested" methods. Almost all of them run into one of two issues: 1) The notification is itself a separate e-mail, subject to being lost as well. 2) Sooner or later, somebody posts to a 30K subscriber list..... :) There's nothing that's really significantly better than simply making sure that the submission will get posted to a mailbox that the submitter reads, and if it doesn't show up, you start chasing through the logs....
