b)         Proof of service by mail or personal delivery will be attached to the original of any document served.  Proof of service by email shall be the emailed notice to which the document is attached.  In the absence of evidence to the contrary, the date shown on the proof of service shall be deemed the date of service.  Proof of service may be verified by certification as provided for in Section 1-109 of the Code of Civil Procedure [735 ILCS 5].

c)         If service is by email, the Division shall maintain a copy of the sent email and shall verify within one business day that the transmission of the email has not been rejected or has failed.
