4. In the Email read receipts section, specify which senders your users can return receipts to.
   
   The default is Do not allow email receipts to be sent, which disables both requesting and returning read receipts.
   
   You can Allow email read receipts to be sent to any email address, or you can restrict responses to only addresses in your organization and addresses in a white list (see the next step).
    
5. If you selected Allow email read receipts to be sent to all addresses in my organization as well as the following email addresses, enter any external email addresses to which users can return read receipts.
   
   Separate email addresses with commas. You can enter up to 100 addresses; each address can have up to 256 characters. If you don't include any addresses, users will only be able to return receipts to other users in your organization.
    
6. Specify whether to send the receipt automatically or to prompt the recipient to send the receipt.
   
   If you selected Allow email read receipts to be sent to any email address, users are always prompted for whether to send the receipt, subject to the limitations noted in Returning read receipts. If you restricted the users who can return receipts, you can have Gmail send the receipt automatically when the recipient opens the message; to do so, uncheck the check box Prompt the user for each read receipt request.
