Wow, was I off, sorry! I think you're right on it - see http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/exchange/2000/maintain/11x2 kada.mspx (did a little digging). The info you need is just a little less than halfway down the page.

Be sure you don't disable this on a connector that is used internally, or you could break all sorts of things. You should probably try to make sure you are not using that connector for any system functions (replication for example) before you do so.

In Exchange 2000 how do I stop all read receipts from going outside the organization?
