delivery receipt dosent work in outlook 2003

[Martin]

Since I upgraded to outlook 2003 I no longer get a deliver receipt
notification from the other persons mail server, I know I previous poster
said its down to individual settings, but I was under the impression
delivery receipt came from the mail server, nothing to do with the person
who you sent it to?
I often receive a read receipt even though I havent requested one, is
outlook asking for a read receipt instead of delivery receipt even though I
havent ticked for read receipt.

Hello Martin,

Yes this task is accomplished by Outlook:

Click Tools-> Options-> Email Options-> Tracking Options-> Select Read
Receipt or/ and Delivery Status Receipt.

Have a good weekend!

From that it looks like you can only get a delivery reciet if you have
microsoft exchange installed, not sure why this has been changed, worked no
problem in outlook XP, I dont have or wish to have exchange.

Hello Martin,

Without Exchange, "Read Receipts" are still avilable but we cannot received
the "Delivery Receipts". This is becaused Exchange is required to track the
message delivery to send the "Delivery Receipt". I examined my initial
response and found I misunderstood your question. I apologize for that.

Hope this helps.

Mike,
Until recently I received delivery notifications using Outlook 2002.
Now I do not receive the notifications.
I do not and have not used Exchange. I have the delivery receipt checked
in the email delivery options.

What happened?

This is what I asked in the first place but never got the right answer.

With outlook 2002 and my own linux sendmail server I used to get deliver
receipts but since upgrading to outlook 2003 I no longer get them.
