No, not from Summit. But yes, internally we get these from MS Exchange
(Outlook) depending on how people have configured Outlook. The original
message has to have been sent with "Read receipt requested" also.

It does not necessarily mean the person has not actually read the message.
Just that the never marked it as read. The most common scenario is:

1. I send out a message which has been marked "Read receipt requested".
2. The recipient has MS Outlook configured with:
        a. A Preview Pane (So they tend to read messages in the preview pane
rather than completely opening them).
        b. They have turned off the option "Mark messages as read in preview
window".
        c. They delete the message directly from the preview window.

I don't know if this helps. If you are not sending messages to Summit with
"Read receipt requested" then I do not know why Summit would be sending this
message back.

Another possibility could be a virus on someone else's computer. Many of the
newer viruses seem to be disguising themselves with subjects and content
which at first glance appear to be an official notification of some sort.
The virus itself would then be attached disguised as the "original email
message". In other words disguised as the message you sent except you never
really sent a message.

Many of these viruses are also disguising the sender's return address. They
replace the infected sender name and email address with one randomly pulled
from the sender's computer. So if you attempt to notify someone they have a
virus, you are notifying the wrong person.

I would suggest:
1) Look carefully at the message headers to see if it really makes sense it
came from Summit.
2) If there are any attachments, examine them closely before opening them.

Hope this helps,

Information Systems?


Sounds similar to one of those "I'm out of the Office" autoreplies.
