    Hi,
    There is a number of scripts available for email id validation. But I have never come across such a script that notifies whether the email sent has been delivered to the recipient or not.

    For example, if I send a mail to name@xxx.com there is no script available to tell that whether the mail has been delivered in the Inbox of name@xxx.com or its a bounce back.

    Please help me by showing such a script if it exists.

    the best you can do is ensure that there was no error while sending it.
    
if( mail(....) )
  it was sent
else
  // failed

    The other way is coding it so that it sends it with a red flag stating that when opened that it is confirmed back to you. however this can cause a great deal of emails on a high traffic site.
