Search the archives. I developed a solution several months ago that takes advantage of Imail's order-of-operations to do just that for Return Receipt Requests. If could easily be augmented to cover HTML and PKI offenses. If you're confused about how to adapt it, feel free to post your questions. Note that my solution doesn't do the strip-and-forward option referred by some respondents, just the bit-bucket-and-notify option, but... ...now might be a good time to annouce our ongoing development of a powerful replacement for Imail's IMAILSRV.EXE, with the following knockout features and more: - Subscribe/change/unsubscribe confirmation - HTML, Return Receipt Request, and PKI warning/stripping/rejection - Oversize message warning/stripping/rejection - Automated bounce message processing - Handshake-only (simple) and full-text (thorough) membership probes - ODBC membership lists, synchronizable with ODBC domain userbases - Multiple moderators - Round-robin gateway support - Backward compatibility with legacy lists, or optional conversion - Full interoperability with Scott's Declude line, excluding Confirm Our feature list has been culled both from posted wishlists and personal demand, but we'll certainly accept feature requets sent directly to my address. Expect to see a Public Beta sometime in January (can you wait?).
