outlook does not send read receipt

Suppose (e-mail address removed) sends me a message requesting a read receipt, and
when I gladly click "yes" to send it from Outlook 2003, an error message
comes on saying:

"Command sent was: RCPT to: (e-mail address removed)

Response received is: 550 relaying mail to anywhere.com is not allowed

Consult the online help for your e-mail program for more information on this
error. Contact your e-mail provider if the problem persists."

So no receipt was send. And sent box does indicate that I had sent a read
receipt.

When I checked with my ISP, its website says:


"The email return receipt feature is not available on Cox High Speed
Internet, primarily because the feature would only be reliable for Cox High
Speed Internet subscribers sending email to each other. On external email,
Cox High Speed Internet subscribers would receive automated confirmations
that email was received only if each mail server from the sender to the
receiver supported the feature.

In addition, corporations and on-line services use mail gateways that often
break the feature.

There is no workaround for use of this feature."


So I thought that perhaps Cox Communication does not support it. Then I
found out if I use Outlook Express instead of Outlook 2003, read receipt
would successfully sent out after I click "yes" to such request.

Why is that? I want to use Outlook as my main browser, so is there a way
for Outlook to send read receipt out as it's supposed to?

Thanks
