Never mind. I got it working. Due to general mindset and misaligned focus I totally missed that all email headers sent from our BPC-servers actually already included the hostname... I can use that to filter the mail in Outlook.
PocketKnife Peek for Outlook made all clear for me.
Sorry for wasting the bandwidth on this list.
I’ll be quiet now.
Thanks all for your suggestions and assistance!

Hi,
Adding a custom text line to $Conf{EMailHeaders} makes that text end up in the
email body.
Is there a way to add it to the header instead together with all other custom
X-somethingorother-fields?
This might maybe be a question for a sendmail list as thus off-topic here.
Should this be the case I apologize.

Sorin,
Unfortunately the Subject field for admin emails is hardcoded.
However, $Conf{EMailAdminUserName} can be set and that is used for the "To"
field. Could you add some tag there that allows you to filter or distinguish
the emails?
You can also set $Conf{EMailHeaders} to add additional headers, but I don't see
a way in gmail to filter based on arbitrary headers.
Perhaps I should make that subject line a config parameter...

Hi all,
I only have the one support mail address and need a way to distinguish from
which BPC-server the message is coming from.
Is there a way to add a tag to the subject line of the administrative emails
from BackupPC, eg subject text "[BPC-12] BackupPC administrative attention
needed"?
I see there is for
EMailNoBackupEverSubj
EMailNoBackupRecentSubj
EMailOutlookBackupSubj
But no obvious way for those general messages, unless I'm missing something
here?
