HOWTO: delivery reports and "send as"???

Hello,

all of our users have the "send as" right for the office@ mailbox. With a
third party software it is possible to have all the mails sent as office@
stored in the "sent" folder of the office@ mailbox instead of the
individual
user's mailbox.

So everyone can see what was sent as office@. But one problem still
remains: we would like to track the messages using the delivery reports.
Unfortunately they go to the individual users mailbox and not to the
office@.

Do you have any ideas what we could do to make them go into the office@
mailbox automatically?

Best wishes.
  Rainer

Why? What's the point? What's the business requirement?
You will never get a delivery/read receipt from me, I don't allow
Outlook to configure them, and it's Outlook that does it, not
Exchange. So, bearing in mind that the delivery reports will be
incomplete and uncontrollable by you, what is the rationale behind it?

We use it, though they are aware of the limitations of read reciepts. I
have not heard of such limitations for delivery reports: the user cannot
say "don't send a delivery report" - it will automatically be sent by the
mail server (maybe mail servers can be configured to ignore such requests).

Anyway, we recieve delivery reports and also read-receipts on a regular
basis. Therefore they would like them to go in the office@ mailbox if we
sent the original message "as office@".
