is "Acknowledge" in OUTLOOK automatic? Can it be turned off?

[N.Tiana]

Have I turned on an automatic acknowledgement facility? Whenever I recieve a
message from people I know ask for an acknowledgement, OUTLOOK appears to
generate an outgoing message which cannot be sent from the server I am
currently using.
OUTLOOK is trying to send these messages, but cannot. Also, I cannot find
these messages to delete them!!

OL only sends an acknowledgement if you OK the msg to acknowledge

Thanks, but what happens if I click "hide this message?"
Also, how can I find the messages OL is trying to send? They do not appear
in the OUTBOX

You dont hide the acknowledgement window you click no, it goes away, no
acknowledgement mail is created or sent.

This is a sign that Outlook is trying to send the receipt from an account
that can't send. Do you have more than one account defined? Why not simply
disable the honoring or receipt requests altogether?

I guess this is the answer. How do I permanently turn off receipt requests??

I can't say because you've not given your Outlook version. However, see if
you can click Tools>Options>E-mail Options>Tracking Options

Thanks. I have made the change.
