Tip 587: Request Read Receipts using Rules

If you want to automatically request read receipts from some people but not from everyone you send mail to, you can use an ‘after sending’ rule to request receipts only if the message meets the condition of the rule.

If you want receipts only from certain domains, use the instructions at http://www.outlook-tips.net/howto/rules.htm to create a rule for the domain and choose the Action ‘notify me when read’.
