Here's a possible solution.

Go to the filter rules in Outlook Express. (Tools - Message Rules Mail)

Outlook usually delivers the receipt with a message that looks like Delivery report: [Message Name]

Check in the first box: Where the Subject line contains specific words

Check in the second box: Delete it from the server

In the third box, click the blue text that reads "contains specific words." Add the following words : Delivery report: Fwd

This should delete any message from the server without downloading, that has the automatic subject Delivery report: followed by the fwd.

Hope this helps.

Need to make a followup. It depends on what kind of receipt your friend is getting back. If it is a delivery receipt than what I wrote works. However, if it is a message read receipt (which I belive is what you're talking about) it obviously won't.

If he is getting a read receipt, follow the previous steps but replace " Delivery report: " with " Read: " (without the quotes of course.)
