I got the 1st part to work Rules.ima file in the named list folder under lists folder contains:
H~Notification-To:[EMAIL PROTECTED] This caught every message that had a "read" receipt request on it. I am not sure you will be able to catch the server side request as I don't believe the NOTIFY=Failure,Delay is internal to the message. I think it is part of the SMTP conversation and therefore cannot be searched for. The return message from the Info manager goes to the listname-owner as that is the address it was forwarded from not the original poster. I tried both respond to sender and respond to list and neither one works for the infobot. Can't think of a way to directly do this with IMail just yet.
