Hello list (and mainly it's administrator);

I am joining some other lists as well, but this is the first i've ever seen 
where I am asked to send read confirmations upon opening of some mails.

Now I'm not administrating a list by myself so I don't know the administrative 
settings, but maybe it is possible to terminate the requests for read 
confirmations?

Unfortunately, there is no setting on the server to remove those annoying requests (I am not an admin on this list, but on other OOo lists).

Another way is to tell new members to deactivate this function.

I think a good policy would be to state this in the guidelines http://www.openoffice.org/ml_guidelines.html and when someone sent a return receipt reply to him in a private message, explaining why this is impolite and point to the guidelines.

Sorry, but I'm a little sensitive in such cases.... ;)

Lacking other options, is possible to set up your mail client to ignore those requests, Mozilla Mail and Thunderbird have a very nice and granular interface for this.
