What triggers sending a mail return receipt?

When you send a mail requesting a Return Receipt what actually sends the receipt mail back to you. Is it an agent in the recipients mail file that is triggered when the mail arrives?Or is it sent when the recipient opens the mail to read it?

If I were simply to copy and past a mail document (with a return receipt request) would the return receipt get sent back to the sender? and if so what actually sends it back? An agent? or some script elsewhere?

Many thanks in advance.

First- may we assume we are speaking of w/ in the notes domain? The return receipt requested gets kicked off by a user either opening the e-mail, or reading it in a preview screen- it is, if I remember correctly, an LS code in an event in the form, “memo”- The only way to get around it that I know of is to read your mail in the document properties box from a view. :slight_smile: (No, I don’t have that kind of time.) - If the question is when the e-mail leaves the domain- then the answer is more complex and has to do w/ the recipients e-mail reader- it if is notes or outlook/Exchange, whether there is a return receipt can actually be affected by a setting in the NAB server config document- search the admin help and it will tell you where the setting is.
