RE: Disabling RR functionality
Title: Disabling RR functionality Read receipts are a client function. They are email messages. Exchange just delievers them.

Specifically if an external e-mail comes in with a request for a Read Receipt, is there a way to suppress the automatic response to this in Outlook or at the Exchange server? I know how to do it client side if the client has the Internet Mail service installed. But none of our workstations need this, so the feature is disabled. I have also looked at the Disable Automatic Replies to the Internet feature on the IMC, and ours is checked. I would think this would suppress the Read Receipt replies, but it doesn't. Any thoughts?

RE: Disabling RR functionality
And to add to this: Read receipts are a client function which can be trapped and removed on the server. But it requires custom application development or a thoroughly configurable SMTP mailer daemon to accomplish that. I know that at least on the Windows 2000 SMTP it is possible with a few lines of code. I'm reading e-mail with OWA without generating read-receipts, which IMHO is a major gotcha on any client based implementations.
