(b) Proof of service . Proof of service may either be provided electronically for cases filed through the JEFS, or may be by written acknowledgment of service, by affidavit of the person making service, or by any other proof satisfactory to the court, unless otherwise provided by law or by the District Court Rules of Civil Procedure.
