I have heard of this "service", and as I understand it, the way it works
is that the sender sends the email to the service, giving the address of
the recipient in some way.  The recipient gets a mail waiting notice,
and has to go to the service's web site to read the mail.  When they
read the mail on the web site, the sender gets the return recipt.

Not foolproof, but better than nothing.
