SUMMARY
When Microsoft Exchange users send messages to MS Mail for PC Networks
users via the Microsoft Exchange MS Mail Connector Interchange and request
a Delivery Receipt, the Delivery Receipt will not be sent to the MS Mail
users. The MS Mail Connector Interchange removes the Delivery Receipt as it
crosses the Connector because MS Mail does not use Delivery Receipts.
MORE INFORMATION
MS Mail for PC Networks does use Read Receipts. However, the MS Mail
Connector Interchange will not re-map the Delivery Receipt to a Read
Receipt because of the subtle differences between a Delivery Receipt and a
Read Receipt.
Delivery Receipt: The sender requests a receipt when the message is
delivered to the recipient's Inbox.
Read Receipt: The sender requests a receipt when the recipient actually
opens the message.
