No and yes, The receiver is responsible to make sure that a message can be sent all the way and is responsible for fixing probems and offer alterantive routes if neccessary. Receiver may also be responsibe for asking about expected but missing messages. > In which case what does receive really mean?

Yes, this is what Dispatch and Reach means. Reach conditions supply answers to the question "did you have or had access to the data message" Note that time and timepuot could be calculated based on Reach OR Dispatch events. > At what point in the software stack does acknowledgement of such > responsibility occur?

From a legal point of the software stack has very little or no signifcance in this case. In most cases the sender does not care how receiver has organized its internal system. Its the receivers risk how he handles incomming message. cheers /anders
