SMTPMAIL read receipt not working?

[Mike Clark]

Progress 9.1e CHUI under windows xp

Hi

I have been using SMPTPMAIL57a for quite a while with no problems, and now a user want to use the Read Receipt/Delivery Receipt facility.

I have added CHR(1) + "yes,yes" to the Emailfrom field but the Receipts dont seem to have been actioned.

The line in my program is
Emailfrom = "<mike@sweetens.co.uk> + chr(1) + "yes,yes"


Any ideas as to what I am doing wrong ?


Regards

Mike

I don't know much about this, but if you have supplied the parameters correctly (and it looks like you have), you need to be aware that the facility to action receipts is not guaranteed - it depends on the clients and protocols involved in the process.

As far as the parameters go, are the < and > required around the from address?

I guess they are ok...

<mike@sweetens.co.uk>... Sender ok

Hi Knut,

Thanks for responding so quickly - I have tried it both with and without the <> around the Emailfrom and still do not get the Receipts.

However if I change the emailto to be 'me' I get the
'The message sender has requested a response ... etc'

???

Mike

I'm afraid I am completely guessing now...

The fact that you are receiving the message (presumably on a message box on your screen) indicates that smtpmail is correctly issuing the request in the first place.

This implies the original recipient is using a different client, or has a different client configuration, or something else has happened 'along the way'.

Sorry I am unable to help.

Later...

If you send the message to yourself, the email doesn't leave the company. If send to outside the company, the emailserver where your mail arrives must be capable of treating these receipts...and acknowledgeing back to the sender...
