You could do this with the "shadow transport" feature. NOTE: I have NOT tested the procedure given below. This is just a hint as to what might work. On the other hand, I have been spending some time lately hacking on Smail 3's innards, so I might be right. Define a transport that does nothing except send acknowledgements to the address(es) listed in a Return-Receipt-To header. I would recommend the use of my Deliver program or a Perl script, but a shell script might be good enough if your volume isn't too high. Call the new transport "local_receipt". Then add "shadow = local_receipt" to your "local" transport definition. Presto, all locally-delivered messages with Return-Receipt-To headers are automatically acknowledged. -- Chip Salzenberg at ComDev/TCT ,
