Return Receipts

I just received a message and immediately after reading it saw a message was sent back but I didn't send it. I looked at the header and found a "return-receipt-to" line with an email address. I set my mail up to bcc myself on every email sent, otherwise, I never would have known that an automatic return receipt message went out. I can't find any settings that allow me to prevent sending automatic return receipts (I use Outlook for work and this is a setting in the client.) Can anyone tell me how to prevent automatic replies so I don't keep sending these on spam emails???
Thanks.

You may be able to configure a rule that checks for the particular header, but I don't know how you would then prevent or delay the return. As it stands Mail does not deal with return receipts and does not have the built-in facility to send similar requests.
Although you can check at VersionTracker or MacUpdate, I don't think there is presently a compatible plug-in to deal with receipts.
If you have Entourage from Office 2008, it may provide such options. Entourage is much better suited for dealing with business environment email needs like Outlook.

  • Return receipt plug in for Mac Mail software?

    Return receipt for Mac OSX 10.4.6 build in email software “Mail” 2.0.7 (746.2/749.3) 2005 Apple Inc.
    Is there a return receipt plug in for Mac Mail software? I want to know if my sent mail was received and know if the mail was opened.

    Kboo,
    in general not a good idea. This may cause loops with Out-of-Office responders and also not a very trustworthy confirmation.
    Options are to use certified email servers as an intermediate (google to find many) or to request explicitly a written reply from the recipient.

  • How do I determine if a sent message had a return receipt request attached?

    I don't always send return receipt requests with messages so I'm wondering how I can tell if I sent
    an RRR with a particular sent message? If I sent to multiple recipients, I'd like to know who has not
    returned a receipt.

    You might be able to use a Message Filter to tag the ones that have a receipt requested. I haven't tried that with Sent Items, but tested something similar for incoming messages in this thread: https://support.mozilla.org/questions/1003321

  • How can I obtain a return receipt using Mail?

    I have never had to use a password as the administrator of my imac. I simply clicked OK without filling it in and it worked just fine. I downloaded Mavericks, and I was asked to enter the password as the administrator. I cannot do so. How do I fix this?

    I'm confused.  Your question has NOTHING to do with the subject title.
    1)  You cannot obtain a return receipt using Mail.  That functionality does not exist.
    2)  If your admin password is blank, then just hit return.  I cannot believe you have NEVER seen an administrator password prompt in normal use of the OS, unless you've only used OS X for an hour total.

  • HT2500 How do I get a return receipt with Mail?

    I want to be sure that someone reads the e-mail I am sending.  In my old system (Windows Outlook) I was able to check a box to get a return receipt.  I've looked all over Mail, including the help system, and can find no instructions on this.  I can't imagine this important feature has been omitted from the program, but I cannot find it anywhere!
    Terrible fail, Apple help!
    Anyone out there know how to do this?  Thanks for the help!
    Best Regards,
    Jim

    Austin,
    Thanks for the info.  I was vainly hoping Apple actually had the feature in the program.  Sadly, this looks like a fail all the way 'round.  I know a return receipt doesn't guarantee anything, but it at least gives me some level of knowing someone got the message.  Sadly, Apple simply doesn't support the feature.
    Fail, Apple.  Fail!

  • Mail App return receipt

    Can you set up the mail app in Panther to give you a return receipt for outgoing mail?

    There is a plugin for Jaguar/Panther Mail called MailPriority which can be downloaded at the following link.
    http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/14967
    MailPriority is a plug-in for Mail.app on 10.2 and 10.3 providing a simple interface to set Priorities for outgoing messages, colorize messages in the message list and to request read receipts. (You only get a receipt, if the receiving mail client supports this feature and the recipient enables this option.)

  • Mail - return receipt

    Is there a way in mail to set up for a return receipt when the recipient either receives or reads the message sent to them? The mail box with the internet provider provides this functionality when I use their webmail application. The provider is FUSE with Cincinnati Bell

    There's one third-party program I know of that works with Mail to provide this functionality - it's called "MailPriority":
    http://home.tiscalinet.ch/david.frank/projects/mailpriority/
    It works by setting the Disposition-Notification-To header (which you can do manually also). It's not fully functional, however, as described by the developer: "Sending receipt requests is not implemented yet (only requesting receipts from others)."
    There may be other third-party solutions - you might try searching on the VersionTracker or MacUpdate websites.

  • Return Receipt (Mail 3.3)

    There are often times when I need to know if someone has at least received my email. Is there any way to get a return receipt for email that has been sent from Apple Mail 3.3? My work email allows me to check if I want a return receipt. I have looked in the help menu and may be searching the wrong terms because I can't find anything there.

    I agree that (1) a return receipt feature would be nice, (2) that receiving email with a "return receipt" demand is annoying, (3) a return receipt that the recipient can decline AND read the email is worthless.
    Thunderbird, which looks like a much smarter free client than Apple Mail, allows you to request a receipt on a case-by-case basis. I agree setting it globally makes one look rather overly anxious. Also, I'm not sure Apple Mail even honors incoming receipt requests!
    I want something that works like old-fashioned certified mail: the recipient can sign for and read or decline and NOT read the message. I get date-stamped notice either way. It might also send you a notice that an email has not been picked up after a certain interval and has presumably been lost. This addresses the lost-mail scenario and is useful in the situation where the recipient pretends not to receive emails and blamed the sender (as you might suppose, a phone call is not a good alternative with such a person). The who-said-what-when can be invaluable, not just in litiagtion contexts but in figuring out where communication broke down so that it doesn't happen again. The log should be created automatically.
    So, no email client can really fix this. (Apple mail should still have the option to request receipt!) The only way I can see for this to work is to go through a 3rd party. Ideas?
    For now, yes, request a reply when it's important!!!!
    One alternative I hate to mention is the "bug" the emails. Services such as didtheyreadit embed invisible images or html tricks in emails and report back every time the message is opened or forwarded, including time, date, IP address, and other details. Maybe this doesn't break the law in that it doesn't reveal private information about the person's computer etc. any more than their picking up the phone does, BUT I dislike it and think the recipient should, as with certified mail, have a chance to decline seeing the message altogether. Perhaps one could bug AND advise the recipient that you do so. At least it is automatic and provides a 3rd-person log that you can point to in a dispute and not be accused of fabricating. Not that I know personally, ahem, but it does work quite well provided the recipient doesn't know how to block it. Admissible in court? I'm not sure.

    i have a follow up question. I continue to get return receipts from various recipients though i can't tell why. I've never used Terminal so I haven't entered any of that stuff. As others have noted, there's nothing in Mac MAil that seems to be doing this. Do you have any ideas why I get return receipts from all these people? I'd really rather not.
