XADM: Extra Read Receipt May Be Sent from Delegate (284954)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5
This article was previously published under Q284954 SYMPTOMS
When you send mail with a request for a read receipt to a recipient who has an autoforward rule set up for a delegate, if the mail recipient and the delegate are on different servers, an additional read receipt is generated from the delegate to the mail recipient. You receive a read receipt from the mail recipient when the mail item is read, as expected. No additional read receipt is received if the recipient and delegate are on the same server.
CAUSE
This problem occurs because when the delegate opens the mail message, the check that is made to determine whether to generate a read receipt does not verify whether or not the message was autoforwarded.
