seond out sucessful, if user receive it and if they read it. How can I

There is no way you can see if a person reads the email you send out, you
can request a receipt to be sent but this will just prompt the user for the
receipt (if the email client supports it) or you can hide a trackig image in
the email that loads from your server and save stats from that but that only
works if the reader is html and the email client does not block images which
most do by default today.

This is a privacy thing and there is no way you can be sure if a recipient
reads your email.

Yes, you can send an email directly to a remote smtp server without the need
for a smtp server in between, there are email clients that do this,
basically they are acting as an smtp server.
