I don't want disposition notifications to go without confirmation.   
And this was confirmed earlier also in the mailing list.  Automatic  
delivery of disposition notification will confirm to the spammers that  
email id exists.

I hope, I am able to convey you, what I wanted to convey.  Please let  
me know, if you need any more clarification.

As a test, shall I send you a mail without using IMP having  
disposition notification header request?   You need to confirm me,  
whether you got a  message prompting to send disposition notification  
or not?
