I'm not sure what you are using to send SMTP email, but most SMTP client software returns a code that should let you know everything was received okay.
SMTP client software and SMTP servers are having a conversation based on the SMTP protocol once they are connected. It usually starts with a HELO to the SMTP server, which acknowledges with a 250 code and text for things like Mail From, Recpt To and the message being queued on the server.
Now, if you want to know if the person on the other end has opened your message, that's a little trickier, but doable.
