Subject:       Re: PEGASUS USERS SOLUTION


A technical note:  I'm using Pegasus on Windows on an IBM in my 
office.  It turns out that when Pegasus was installed (by another) 
it was set up so that it would not be possible through the standard 
routes to disable the automatic RCPT:  confirmation.  After much 
struggle (I'm just not a whiz when it comes to computers) 
I did figure out how to fix this problem, and although it 
seems most people have figured out how to fix it on their machines, I 
would like to give anyone who hasn't the steps necessary.

-- First, go to FILE and select PREFERENCES and then ADVANCED
 SETTINGS.  If you are lucky, you can just click off "Accept 'confirm 
reading' requests."  This didn't work on my machine.  I had go back 
to PREFERENCES and then go to EXTENDED FEATURES.  Here there is 
another field called "Allow 'confirmation of reading' requests" which 
you click off.  This seems to have been the trick on my machine.

-- It is possible to go to FILE and then NEW MAIL FILTERING 
and set up Pegasus so that it will delete all messeges that begin 
with RCPT.  When the FILTERING RULES screen appears go to ADD RULE 
and then select "subject: field," put "RCPT:" in the "contains" 
field, and "DELETE" in the "then do this" field.  

This all seems stultifyingly simple to me now, but it took just about 
all the patience I have to figure it out.  I hope the info will help 
somebody -- bhabha is a piece of cake compared to computers!

Mike
