Doesn't that violate RFCs? :P

Depends on what you are running. With my system, I drop mail that is spam, not return it. In such a case, they do not get an NDR, because I am deleting their mail. This is a great tool against relay freaks. They think their relay is getting through, when in truth, I AM EATING IT FOR LUNCH.

Another question. Don't the spammers know that they have hit a legit address because they don't get a non-delivery notice. Can't they put two and two together and figure out which are the real addresses? Why would they need a read receipt. just a thought. dave

In Outlook 2000, this option is set by going to Tools-->Options-->E-mail
Options-->Tracking Options.

OutL2000 never asked about sending read receipts, but OutL2002 does.

I wouldn't think so, unless the spammers are coming from your own Exchange Server.  All I know is that whenever someone from the outside world requests a read receipt, I'm usually asked if I want to send it or not.  Of course, that is with Outlook (Internet Mail Only) and Outlook Express at home.  I'm not so sure I've ever seen it with the Corporate/Workgroup setting...

I try to lecture my lusers all the time about not unscribing to spam mail that they are sending their legitimate address back to whomever. I tell them to just delete it. Now internally when I send a read receipt to someone it will tell me that it was not read. Is this what happens when you delete spam? Are they (spammers) still getting a notification that it's a real address?
