I have a question/issue. Our
legal dept. would like "read receipts" for all e-mails sent out, once they
have been read by the recipient. This message originates from a web server
and is sent with a program like "Sendmail" to virtually to every employee
here. We have set up a mailbox within the Exchange org which is where
they would like the read receipts to return to. They have a script
they are using on the app server (see below) that supposedly is set up to
send a read receipt but apparently it does not function. I didn't write it
and I don't know much about it. It does send a delivery receipt
however.
In the CDO message object there is a return-receipt-to
value to which can be assigned an e-mail address; and this, as far as I
understand, should cause read receipt functionality to occur. However, when
the web server sends off the message to the recipient, we get back a
"delivery successful" notification (which I don't even really want), but
then no subsequent "read receipt", even after the message has been opened
and closed.
I checked the Internet headers for the message (see bottom of
message), and the Return-Receipt-To header is part of the message, but it
seems to be acting like a delivery notification instead.
1) Am I incorrect on which header
should cause the read receipt functionality to work?
Or
2) Do I just have the wrong
code? Or am I beating a dead horse? I was wondering if thereis a
correlation in Exchange/Outlook for which Internet Header "maps" to the read
receipt flag in the Outlook client (like it seems the Return-Receipt-To:
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Internet Header
"maps" to the Delivery Receipt Requested checkbox in an Outlook
message).
If you could help me out on this,
I'd really appreciate it.
