Are there any services or ways of verifying that an e-mail is reaching its recipient? I am using ActiveMailer and it works well but I may need to start ensuring that e-mails are delivered to the address specified.

Not really. You could look into setting a 'return receipt' header (google for specifics) and those clients that have it enabled will send an email back saying "got it". I always turn that stuff off though. Not sure what normal clients do by default. Point being it isn't guaranteed to work.
Other than putting a link in the email that the user clicks on, no.
Thanks Philip. That's what I had assumed but was hoping I would get
lucky =)
