Basically, by using various methods, they generate a web request on their server in the HTML embedded (could also use applets etc) email, which they send to the recipient. Through which they can track, as to which I.P address checked the email (or requested the applet / HTML) And then you can be "notified" that your email has been "read", that's what they are "readnotify". I think, it is sort an invasion of privacy, since it completely depends on the recipient whether or not he/she wishes to confirm to the sender that email has been received.

Hi, I have a couple of questions regarding their technology: - The service sounds great, but it also sounds like I paid someone to hack my friends? - Do they leave any trojan in my friends' machines or my machine? How do they do it? - And last questions, is this legal?
