Managing Read Receipt Requests
After some discussion on the message boards at MYITFORUM about read receipts I decided to do some research into the problem. I forwarded a few ideas to Rod and I also tried to resolve it my self on my end.
I started using this suggestion about 5 hours ago and it seems to be working nicely.
"Is there any way to selectively enable/disable the read receipts option?"
You can control it either by recipient or by keywords in the subject or message body. All you need to do is create a "Check messages after sending" rule.
1. Open the Rules wizard Select the option to create a blank rule
2. Choose 'Check messages after sending' from the rules dialog.
3. Select the conditions you want to check for and enter the criteria.
· I selected Though the Microsoft Exchange Server
Note: You may also need to add exceptions for some groups or subjects. See pic below.
· This way it only puts read receipts on my inner office email and nothing else J
4. Choose 'notify me when it is read' as the action.
5. Enter exceptions, if needed, and save the rule.
Now every message you send that meets the conditions you chose will include a read receipt request.
