SYMPTOMS
The problem occurs in the following scenario:

A Microsoft Mail for PC Networks Windows client version 3.5 sends a message to a Microsoft Mail for PC Networks postoffice, which transfers the message over the MS Mail Connector to a computer running Microsoft Exchange Server, which transfers the message over the X.400 Connector to a remote X.400 Message Transfer Agent (MTA). Finally, the message reaches an X.400 recipient.

The sender has selected the option "Return Receipt." However, the sender only receives a Read Receipt back from the recipient. A Delivery receipt is not returned from the remote X.400 MTA.



CAUSE
By default, Microsoft Exchange Server version 4.0 maps the Microsoft Mail "Return Receipt" option into the Read Receipt Request X.400 P2 flag.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Exchange Server, version 4.0. This problem was corrected in the latest Microsoft Exchange 4.0 U.S. Service Pack.
