PMDF System Manager's Guide

The reportboth, reportheader, reportnotary, and reportsuppress channel keywords control which sort, if any, of delivery receipt request PMDF constructs from "foreign" delivery receipt requests, such as for messages coming in to PMDF via PMDF-LAN, PMDF-MR, PMDF-X400, or PMDF-MB400 channels, or via the addressing channel. On OpenVMS, these keywords also control the interpretation of delivery receipt requests from VMS MAIL or PMDF MAIL via L or D channels. For PMDF-LAN, PMDF-MR, PMDF-X400, and PMDF-MB400 channels, these keywords also control which sort of delivery receipt request PMDF will convert into the respective "foreign" delivery receipt request. (In the case of PMDF-X400, note that the keyword on the MIME_TO_X400 channel controls the behavior in both directions, to and from the X.400 world.) The current default is reportheader meaning to turn "foreign" delivery receipt requests into the old ad-hoc header style delivery receipt requests. reportnotary requests that only NOTARY^f style delivery receipt requests be generated; this may become the default in a future version of PMDF. reportboth causes PMDF to generate both a header style and a NOTARY style delivery receipt request when seeing a "foreign" delivery receipt request; setting this may result in two delivery receipts from MTAs that support both forms of delivery receipt request. reportsuppress causes PMDF to ignore (suppress) incoming "foreign" delivery receipt requests.
