Be aware that Redemption will not be a complete solution, as it really only allows for the scripts to just send mail. It doesn't guarantee anything regards customized headers, as that is total dependant on the configuration of the Exchange server, which for most people is totally out of their control. In the default configuration all X-Headers are stripped, so even if you try and create them and send then via Outlook, the Exchange server will ignore them completely. The problem is that you're not sending over an SMTP protocol until after the Exchange server has done it's processing, so in constructing the message it ignores any headers that aren't standard. Unfortunately I don't run a Windows box any more, so am unable to test the current versions we have here at $work, but if you do manage to resolve the X-Header issues I would be delighted to hear about it, so that I can add it to Mail::Outlook :) Cheers, Barbie. -- Birmingham Perl Mongers <http://birmingham.pm.org> Memoirs Of A Roadie <http://barbie.missbarbell.co.uk>
