Could you build this?

Partial While generating signed PDFs is straightforward, running an authenticated transactional MTA that captures raw SMTP 250 OK handshake receipts and provides legally defensible audit logs requires deep email infrastructure expertise.

What it would actually take: The core challenge is operating a custom SMTP forwarding relay (e.g., via Postfix or a custom Go/Rust SMTP server) that tracks and cryptographically logs downstream SMTP dialog handshakes (specifically receiving the 250 response). The system needs an automated PDF generation service paired with an X.509/PAdES digital signature certificate (PKI infrastructure) and resilient IP reputation management to avoid recipient spam rejection.
