Permit internal Read Receipts but prevent them from exiting organisation

http://blogs.technet.com/b/exchange/archive/2011/02/23/3412028.aspx
Above article explains how to delete Read Receipts in Exchange altogether.
Can I use Exchange to allow Read Receipts between internal users within the organisation but prevent read receipts from being sent to external mail addresses? Case in point is to prevent spammers from confirming live addresses within the organisation.
So we want to know if anyone has read our emails; we want to know if we've read each others emails and if the outside world has read our emails but we don't want the outside world to know whether we've read their emails.
I'm getting the impression that the functionality supported in Exchange means that you can only configure a rule like this on a separate gateway (front end?) if you want only external affected and you cannot specify the direction (i.e. allow incoming read
receipts but delete outgoing read receipts).

Hi,
From your description, you want to prevent the external users from receiving the read receipts of internal users.
You can create the following transport rule to achieve it. (Note: Because we use the "Read" as subject key word, it will delete the messages whose subject contain "read", please pay attention to use it.)
What's more, I have a test in my lab. If I choose "Read:" as subject key word, the transport doesn't work. When I choose "Read" as subject key word, it works.
Besides, to force an immediate update of transport rule, you can stop and start the Microsoft Exchange Transport service.
Hope it helps.
If you need further assistance, please feel free to let me know.
Best regards,
Amy

  • Can I maually check for updates but prevent them from being automatically installed if it turns out one is available?

    Can I maually check for updates but prevent them from being automatically installed if it turns out one is available?
    Background:
    In options I have "check for updates, but let me choose whether to install them" ticked. This works fine, in that I periodically receive a notice of an available update, and it will ask me whether I want to I want to install it.
    But there are certain times -- for reasons I won't go into here (unless requested as part of seeking a solution) -- where I want to manually check for new versions, but RETAIN the ability to decide whether or not to install it. But if I click Help/About Firefox/Check for Updates, and it finds an update, it will immediately proceed to install it without asking for permission. While that seems quite inconsistent with my update preferences in Options, it is apparently normal behavior as described in https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/update-firefox-latest-version#w_how-do-i-manually-check-for-updates.
    So is there any way I can manually check for new-update availability but then refuse the update if I so choose? Once an unwanted install begins, I'm concerned that if I click cancel I could end up with a partial installation or some "messed up," duplicated or corrupted FF files (e.g., multiple versions appended with (1), (2) etc, similar to what sometimes confusingly happens when I do an XP System Restore).
    Thanks.

    I think what needs to be made very clear here is that when a user clicks on "check for updates" the software should bloody well CHECK for updates and most certainly SHOULD NOT proceed to download and apply any updates. this is misleading and intrusive.
    I just wanted to check if there was an updated version but I DID NOT want to actually update at that moment. the software downloaded data, costing me money and tried to apply the update which could have potentially messed up my settings if I had not checked everything was ok first.
    I actually discovered how to prevent the update by searching through windows and manually deleting the files but why should anyone have to go to such lengths?
    the software should simply do as it is asked, not do things that have most certainly not been asked.

  • How to filter out inbound Read receipts but prevent prevent notification to sender

    Greetings,
    For Exchange 2007, we would like to prevent external users from sending Read Receipt requests to our users.  In the Outlook client, we can easily disable this.  But for EAS users, their smartphones send a reply as soon as the email is opened.  I've
    applied a Hub Transport rule to strip out the "Disposition-Notification-To" from inbound emails but this causes a different message to be sent to the sender, "Delivery to these recipients or distribution lists is complete, but delivery
    notification was not sent by the destination:".   As a test, I've now also unchecked "Allow Delivery Reports" for Remote domains, but will this work?  Should both settings be applied to avoid generating the response to senders as noted
    previously?
    Thanks

  • I receive numerous messages in "Bulk Mail". Where do they come from and how can I prevent them from being received? Thanks

    I receive numerous messages in "Bulk Mail". Where do they come from and how can I prevent them from being received? Thanks

    Once you're on a spammer's list, there's nothing you can do to stop the flood of e-mail messages. You can either control it, using spam filtering (which is what files those messages in the Junk Mail folder), or you can throw out your e-mail address and get a new one.
    It's sad, but spam is simply a fact of life at this point, and there's nothing to be done about it. Legislation has been tried, with zero success, since most spam either comes from countries with no legislation or from personal computers that have been infected with malware and are part of a "botnet."

  • I allow my grandchildren to play free games on my ipad that I download for them.  Is there a way to prevent them from accidentally (or otherwise) purchasing upgrades?  My 6 yr old just did so and has no idea how she did it.  Can I block this access?

    I allow my grandchildren to play free games on my ipad and iphone that I download for them.  Is there a way to prevent them from accidentally (or otherwise) purchasing upgrades?  My 6 yr old just did so and has no idea how she did it. Is there a setting that would prevent this from happening?

    Yes.  You can set restrictions.
    This is covered in the manual.

    How do I show my iCloud purchases in iTunes, but prevent it from showing duplicates of the songs I already have on my computer?  There are duplicates of essentially everything!
    I would like to show my available songs that I could download if I want, however the ones I've already downloaded to my computer are showing up still, which results in duplicates of everything (one on my computer, one in the cloud)

    No.
    Are the photos in an iTunes backup? If so then:
    - You can restore another iPod touch, iPhne or iPad from that backup
    - Extract the photos from that backup by

    Are these purchased songs from iTunes?  If so they do not count against your cloud storage.

    If the program settings are set to hidden, it should be hidden. You do not need to specify any client settings. If you changed the program settings and the machines already had policy, you will have to wait up to your 60 minute policy setting or just manually
    kick off a policy update to see the new hidden program.
    If they are still getting the interactive install, then you need to troubleshoot if the machine has gotten proper policy. Run a 'Machine policy retrieval and evaluation cycle' manually, wait a few minutes and then test again.
    Suppress program notifications are the tray icons and bubble notifications about installations happening. Hidden is the method in which the executable/msi will install.

  • I have my emails set up on my I phone and want the emails to be marked read if I access them from my laptop, does anyone know how to do this?

    I have my emails set up on my I phone and want the emails to be marked read if I access them from my laptop, does anyone know how to do this?

    YOu would have to set it up as an IMAP account, which would depend on what email service you are using.

  • Keeping emails in mail but deleting them from .mac account?

    My mobile phone wants to download the entire .mac mailbox whenever I check my mail - is the answer then to empty the .mac mailbox everyday? I once did this and lost all the emails in Mail on my computer. I'd like to keep them on the computer, but is this possible?

    Hello, and welcome to the Discussions.
    Exactly how you use your Powerbook and phone is the key to arriving at the best way to do this. If you do not have your Mac connected at all times, or at least when needing to use the phone to check email, then you can set up your .mac account as a POP account, rather than .mac, and then remove messages from the server whenever you first download them onto your computer.
    A .mac account, like an IMAP account (it really is just an IMAP account) has its Inbox, and usually its Sent mailbox residing on the server, whereas a POP account has the Inbox, Sent, etc residing on your hard drive. While you can leave messages on the server, when using POP access, so as to download to other computers, the original concept of POP was to download and remove.
    The Mail Application has all the needed selections for instructing the server to keep or remove messages after download, when the account is set up as POP.
    The other choice is to create a New Mailbox, which will be on your Mac, and then move messages from the .mac Inbox to this new mailbox, and thus remove them from the Inbox, which should take them off the server.
    More info, please.

  • Is it possible to keep songs on your ipod but erase them from your . . .

    I know it has to be possible, but I need some help to do this. I have a lot of songs and would like to get them off of my hard drive. Is it possible to erase them from my hard drive and keep them on my ipod? If so, what's the easiest way to do this?
    Thanks

    Possible, yes. But not typically advised around here, as the iPod's hard drive is not a reliable long term storage/archival device. Best to back up your songs onto either an external hard drive or CD/DVD media first before deleting from iTunes.
    Setting the iPod to manually manage music and playlists, though, will achieve what you're looking to do.

  • Prevent JVM from exit on Windows with an Atl-F4

    The "Alt-F4" key combination can be used to kill my Java program.
    Would anyone know of a way to prevent this?
    Since this only needs to be stopped on Windows and the
    application does bundle the "JRE" with it (we therefore
    control which version of Java we are using). I was thinking
    of trying to use the sun.misc.SignalHandler to intercept what
    I assume would be the SIGINT or SIGTERM associated with
    the "Alt-F4".
    Has anyone else done this?

    Actually I do use JNA to capture and forward the keyboard events. The JNA keyboard hook however
    does NOT see the Alt-F4 sequence. (My guess is the OS's handler get it first).
    I was instead hoping to capture the SIGINT or SIGTERM event (I'm not yet sure what it is) to prevent it
    from shutting down the JVM.

  • GENIUS PLAYLISTS - how do I prevent them from autoplaying?

    When I'm playing a song and click on another to create a genius playlist, the new playlist automatically starts playing. Is there a way to turn this 'autoplay' off? I don't want the genius playlist to interrupt what I'm currently listening to, I just want to see the genius suggestions. Thanks in advance.

    i had the exact same problem and i rang apple and they made an "exception" because I had apple care and replaced the outer casing for me the apple technician where I brought my macbook said it was clear that the damage was not due to the computer falling or being mistreated because the cracks would have been in completely different places if that was true!!
    It took some persuading from me and I had to send pics and talk to a supervisor before they agreed to the repair but its worth it, fingers crossed the same thing doesn't happen to the replacement case
    anyway if this has happened to your macbook and your covered by apple care get on to them today !!

  • IBook g4 won't boot from CD or read CD but will boot from and read DVD

    My iBook won't read from CD's anymore. I can put in my 10.4 Tiger DVD and it boots just fine and will mount just fine but when I insert a CD it will think for abou 10-15 seconds then eject it. I can't get it o boot with any diag tools on CD either. Any tricks

    I've been having a similar problem. Can't boot from diagnostic disks (Disk Warrior, Norton, and can't use certain functions of Disk Utilities on Mac OS disk). What's more, I now have 3 partitions on my hard drive and I didn't partition it! I tried wiping the HD but I still ended up with 3 partitions. Permissions keep changing on my files. I haven't been able to access the other volumes to see what's there. I feel as though something on one of the other volumes has taken over the admin privileges for my iBook.
    NAV finds nothing, but also tells me I haven't permission to scan certain files in the priv, usr, bin, and similar files.
    Disk Utility repairs permissions temporarily, but only on the one partition I can access. When I try to use it to look at other vols from the CD, it shuts down and restarts my computer from the HD.
    What's going on and what can I do about it? Apple claims it's impervious to rootkits et. al., but I'm beginning to think one has gotten onto my system.
    Has anyone else heard of similar behavior and a way to remedy?
