STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server.

MORE INFORMATION

The Outlook 2000 client and the Outlook 2003 client send the read receipt e-mail message to the Exchange 2000 computer with a null (<>) sender address. This behavior complies with Request for Comments (RFC) 2298. However, Exchange 2000 does not correctly process a null From address when anonymous access authentication is turned off.

Outlook 2002 does not experience this problem because Outlook 2002 sends a read receipt notification by using the SMTP address that is contained in the original e-mail From field after successful authentication. Outlook 2000 and Outlook 2003 do not use this method.

For more information about RFC 2298, visit the following Web site:
