Read Receipts [Re: More errors.]

[Stijn Jonker]

Hello All,

2 Questions:

1) Please everybody remind to turn off the read receipts on emails to
mailinglists. (I need to ack some for work etc, so I can't turn it off
in thunderbird ;-))

2) Is there a way for mailscanner to filter these based on rules? (Hmm,
It might actually be neither the job of a MTA or MailScanner, it's in
the body of an email (So not the MTA).. / It's not really an security
issue. (And i don't want MS to generate an alert for every read receipt.)

For those who don't know: Read Receipt is set by the header line:
Disposition-Notification-To: <user> <email address>
