Blocking Delivery Status Notifications?

Hello Julian,

Attached I send you a small tar file with some DSN notifications that 
Exchange generates.

Read/Not read receipts I was able to find in df/qf pairs but the 'You 
message has been succesfully delivered to' messages I couldn't find in a 
df/qf pair amongst all the files. I have encluded an example from such a 
message which was snatched from the internal MS Exchange queue which 
should give you an idea. As you can see Exchange happily reports all the 
people that are put on copy by the Exchange server but to whom the sender 
of the mail never intended to send the mail to.

Sorry I couldn't find a df/qf pair for this message, if you need it I 
will continue to look for it.

Please do not bounce the DSN's to the mailing list :)

Thanks and best regards,
Remco
