H_RECEIPTTO Header Flag (V8.7 and Later)

Some headers contain information about to whom a return receipt should be sent. Return notification is triggered by the NOTIFY=SUCCESS extension to the RCPT To: command. If the PrivacyOptions option’s noreceipts (PrivacyOptions=noreceipts on page 1068) keyword is specified, no success return notification will be sent. Beginning with V8.10, if the RrtImpliesDsn option is set, the presence of any header with H_RECEIPTTO set will cause sendmail to act as though NOTIFY=SUCCESS was specified, even if it was not.

Prior to V8.10, no headers had this flag set. For V8.10 through V8.12, the only header with this flag set is the Return-Receipt-to: header (Return-Receipt-To: on page 1165). Beginning with V8.13, the Delivery-Receipt-To: header (Return-Receipt-To: on page 1165) also has this flag set.
