What's a "domain"? I believe I've received recall
messages in non-Outlook (UNIX) mailboxes. But admin might
have defined the UNIX system as being in Outlook's domain.
There's good reason to ignore recall and delivery-receipt
headers that come from outside the domain to thwart recall
messages with forged return addresses and to forestall
delivery-receipt bombing.
But "recall" messages are sent outside what may be reasonably
be considered a "domain". See, e.g.:
