Checking if mail delivered successfully?

Question

Is there a good way to check the exchange server via the EWS to see if mail was delivered properly to the recipient? Example is we are using a unmonitored email account to send emails out but we want to somehow pragmatically check it to see if there are
bounce backs from emails that do not longer exist or are not delivered successfully.

If you have Exchange 2010 or later then you can use the MessageTracking operations in EWS
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/dd877098(v=exchg.150).aspx these aren't documented particular well and you can't use them from the EWS Managed API so you need to use either WSDL ProxyCode or raw SOAP. Otherwise you can do full tracking
via the Exchange Management Shell Get-Messagetrackinglog cmdlet
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa997573(v=exchg.150).aspx
For Proxy code you can use something like
ExchangeServiceBinding esb = new ExchangeServiceBinding();
esb.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("username", "password", "domain");
esb.Url = "https://servername/EWS/Exchange.asmx";
esb.RequestServerVersionValue = new RequestServerVersion();
esb.RequestServerVersionValue.Version = ExchangeVersionType.Exchange2010_SP1;
ReplyToItemType riRepItem = new ReplyToItemType();
FindMessageTrackingReportRequestType fmtRequest = new FindMessageTrackingReportRequestType();
fmtRequest.Scope = "Organization";
fmtRequest.StartDateTime = DateTime.Now.AddDays(-4);
fmtRequest.Sender = new EmailAddressType();
fmtRequest.Sender.EmailAddress = "[email protected]";
fmtRequest.Domain = "msgdevelop.com";
fmtRequest.StartDateTimeSpecified = true;
FindMessageTrackingReportResponseMessageType fmtResponse = esb.FindMessageTrackingReport(fmtRequest);
foreach (FindMessageTrackingSearchResultType fmtSearchResult in fmtResponse.MessageTrackingSearchResults)
Console.WriteLine(fmtSearchResult.MessageTrackingReportId);
GetMessageTrackingReportRequestType gmt = new GetMessageTrackingReportRequestType();
gmt.MessageTrackingReportId = fmtSearchResult.MessageTrackingReportId;
gmt.Scope = "Organization";
gmt.ReportTemplate = MessageTrackingReportTemplateType.Summary;
GetMessageTrackingReportResponseMessageType gmtResponse = esb.GetMessageTrackingReport(gmt);
foreach (RecipientTrackingEventType rte in gmtResponse.MessageTrackingReport.RecipientTrackingEvents)
Console.WriteLine(rte.EventDescription);
Console.WriteLine(rte.DeliveryStatus);
