I don't know if that is such a good idea. Maybe start with some of the normal headers first. Like "Organisation" and "Keywords". One occasionally even encounters the fields "Address", "Telephone" and "Telefax" in the headers (which I think is neat, but useless for the average reader). <cf_plug type="bestPractice"> But DO add an X-Originating-IP and an X-Complaints-To header. It will save you tons of work if somebody starts to use some "Email your friends" form to annoy others. <cfmailparam name="X-Originating-IP" value="#cgi.remote_addr#"> <cfmailparam name="X-Complaints-To" value="abuse@domain"> Since we enforce this with our customers (as a hosting provider) we have not had a single complaint being sent to us, all complaints went to the operators of the hosted site. There is a reason why Yahoo, Hotmail and the other webmail companies use these headers. </cf_plug> BTW, part of this is also in RFC 2822, which is sort of the twin of 2821.
