We receive hundreds of spam/solicitation emails each day. Many, if not most, automatically send a reply to the sender thus validating our email address. Yesterday, I deleted almost 3000 emails from my send file that show being sent by us back to the originator of the email.

Is there a way to block this action?

Tools menu (Alt_T) > Account settings > Return receipts for the "per account" settings and a link to the global setting. If however your using Microsoft Exchange or another corporate mail server you may have no choice in the matter. The server over rides local settings, and adjustment required the server admin to make changes.
