<li>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).</li>
<li>The recipient simply does not wish to return a receipt for the sent message.</li>
</ul>
<p>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.</p>
