Summary: Read-Confirmation is sent automatically

Initial Comment:
For some Spam I have received recently, read-
confirmation messages have been sent automatically. 

I have doublechecked the Email-Configuration in Outlook 
and it was definitely set to "never send a read 
confirmation for internet mail". Nevertheless, it did.

I only noticed because the confirmations came back due 
to an unknown adress.

All the messages have been classified as Spam by 
Spambayes and where therefore moved directly to the 
Junk Mail folder, where they were never opened by me.

It looks like the read-confirmation was generated during 
classification of the mails or while they where moved to 
the junk folder. But why was the confirmation sent at 
all, when this function is disabled in Outlook? 

Im using a popmail account, Outlook 2002, Win XP.

It's a bit of horror to know that these things are sent in 
the background without me knowing.

I notice the same behaviour OL 2002 (10.6515.6735) SP3
silently send "Not Read" replies to SPAM including e.g.
those headers:

X-Confirm-Reading-To: gttxecnt at filemaker.com
Disposition-Notification-To: gttxecnt at filemaker.com
Return-Receipt-To: gttxecnt at filemaker.com

I'm not 100% sure if Spambayes is causing this. I'm using
the lastest (1.0.4) Spambayes version)

Looks like it doesn't happen any more with the latest 
Spambayes release.

The header of the messages have a "Disposition-Notification-
To:" field instead of "Return-Receipt-To:"
