Outlook 2003 - Read Receipt
Recently I started receiving read receipts on some emails.
This feature is disabled in my set up, but sometimes a read
receipt is being requested even though the default is "no".
What are the different ways to prevent this?

Did you send these mails where you got the RR yourself or could it be that mails were send from a mail-enabled group where you are the owner and group is configured to request RR and send RR to group owner?

I have selected the option "Always send a response" but it doesn't seem to work. Wouldn't make any difference using "Never send a response"?
This is happening with regular emails no DL, etc and it happens with internal and/or externals.

You must have "Never send a response" selected

let me correct my previous post...this only happens with internal email and is intermittent

All right this is how I understand the configuration:
"Never send a response" - When RR is requested Outlook will never send a response.
"Always send a response" - When RR is requested Outlook will automatically send the response
If I want to notify my customers (which are demaning the RR) that I have received their email but I don't want to manually do it all the time wouldn't "Always send a response" be the option to select?
If I go with "Never send a response" the customers will never get the RR.

Exactly.
