[dba-Tech] Blocking read receipts in Outlook 2000

I'm pretty sure there is an option in Exchange Server 4.5 not to send
"read and receive" receipts that internal clients like Outlook would
send.

In a standard install it is turn on by default (not to send receipts).
I believe you can find it in the SMTP connector in the system
administration in Exchange server.

I tought also Exchange 2000 has this function somewhere in the SMTP
connector, but according to the article not...
So I'm not really sure for EX 2000.
Anyway, since you have 4.5, I'm pretty certain it is there because I
always needed to turn the option off...

So even if Outlook send a receipt/read confirmation, The SMTP connector
of Exchange will not relay it.


Greetings
Erwin

Thanks John, that looks great! I probably should have mentioned that
we're running Exchange 5.5... Oh well, we're supposed to be getting
Exchange 2003 this year, so not long to wait.

Hi all
 
I've been asked to find out why the options to allow or block sending
read receipts from Outlook 2000 are greyed out, and if it's possible to
force Outlook to block them.
 
It's bad for business if customers see that we've read an email, and
then don't reply to it for 2 days, so what we'd like to do is deny all
requests for read receipts. I just can't find how to do it, even after
looking on Slipstick and Google...
 
Does anyone have any ideas or experience with this?
