All messages sent using the RMail® service are transmitted as Registered Email™ messages and return a Registered Receipt™ email record to the sender to certify and prove email delivery, content,  timestamp, without requiring any compliant action at the recipient. For each message sent, the sender receives the Registered Receipt™ email record within two hours of sending, which is a self-contained record of proof of delivery with delivery timestamps, open tracking, proof of content delivered, and proof of encrypted delivery.

The Registered Receipt™ e-mail has the capability to authenticate and accurately reproduce the original e-mail and attachments, including any attached disclosures, which satisfies the E-Sign Act’s retention and accurate reproduction requirements. And the Registered Receipt™ e-mail, because it can be provided to third parties and used to authenticate the content and attachments to the e-mail, may be retained by creditors to enable access to parties entitled to access to the records for the period required by law, which satisfies the E-Sign Act’s access requirements.

A Registered Email message may be sent encrypted or configured to record a recipient reply or consent.
