Delivery receipts are controlled by the mail server that the user is using.
If that server does not recognize the receipt request, or is set to deny
them, you will not receive a delivery receipt no matter what you try.

I know that my mail server is set to not allow delivery receipts. Many
servers out there are set to not allow by default or are easily set to deny.

I'm using MS Office Pro 2007 with Outlook. My desire is to set a rule to
cause an automatic delivery receipt to be returned to me when the
recipient opens my email. On a new mail page, I clicked on the options
tab and checked "request a delivery receipt for this message," and also
checked "have replies sent to [my email address.] However, no delivery
receipts are being returned to me. Please note that I do not want the
"read" receipt that requires the recipient to allow it; I just want the
non-participating delivery receipt automatically returned to me when the
recipient opens my email.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Tom
