The system filter in Exim can be used to rewrite or suppress such
headers for sender/recipient combinations that you choose, e.g. for local
students to other local students. The innermost condition that I use is:
if $h_x-confirm-reading-to is not ""
then
logwrite "X-X-Confirm-Reading-To: $h_x-confirm-reading-to: (SUPPRESSED at gla.ac.uk)"
headers add "X-X-Confirm-Reading-To: $h_x-confirm-reading-to: (SUPPRESSED at gla.ac.uk)\n"
headers remove "X-Confirm-Reading-To"
endif
Similarly for "Return-receipt-to"
We suppressed over 30,000 such requests some weeks last year, without
any students complaining! Pegasus make it too easy for students to request
such confirmations.
Best wishes,
