Question

Most services offered online today that claim to "track" e-mails,But every one using image.

Is there any way to track the mail?

I'm searching other ways.

You could request a read receipt, but again no guarantee of it being sent.

In short - no there is no way to track an email itself once it has left your local MTA.

If this is for a web promotion, the usual thing is to add a promo identifier to any links back to your website (e.g. "www.mysite.com/specialoffer1" or "www.mysite.com/?promo=offer1") so you can see who has visited as a result of receiving the email.
