  • The recipient returns a receipt but the receipt is lost on the way back from the recipient to the sender (e.g., because of connectivity issues or software failures at any hop).
  • The recipient simply does not wish to return a receipt for the sent message.

    Because of these significant limitations, this protocol does not provide complete or even partial reliability or guaranteed delivery. Therefore, the sender SHOULD NOT impute any meaning to the lack of a receipt unless it has established with the recipient that receipt requests will be honored; however, methods for doing so are out of scope for this specification and it is NOT RECOMMENDED to take any particular action (such as resending a message) without such methods.

This protocol merely provides a building block that could be used in conjunction with other protocols to asymptotically approach the eventual goal of messaging reliability and guaranteed delivery.
