Description peter.junge 2007-04-19 03:24:19 UTC 
Hi,

I recommend strongly to remove header 'Disposition-Notification-To' from
incoming mails to mailing lists. This header triggers sending return receipts to
the author of the mail. I see two arguments for the need:
1) It's a privacy issue. Spammers could use this to collect mail addresses of
OOo mailing list users.
2) It's annoying. Personally I read quite a lot of mailing list and the pop-up
of a MsgBox asking to notify the sender disturbs fast progress to navigate
through a lot of mails significantly. Especially if it happens quite often.

Best regards
Peter

In the new Discussion we have options/facility to add/remove header information.
Also there is options for setting a mail list to reject the mail content based
on specific header information this can be achieved by making of use regular
expressions .

CollabNet Support is currently reviewing the issues under Resolved-Later. If the
issues are fixed currently in any of the present CEE releases, then it will be
marked as Resolved-Fixed.

There might be a few issues which might not be in our future roadmap which might
be closed as Wontfix unless it does not lie under any custom request.
Comment 5 Unknown 2009-01-23 10:41:18 UTC 
This is available in CEE 5.0, hence marking as fixed.
