Hi Stefan,

Yes, it is fairly popular with ESPs (X-Report-Abuse, X-Complaints-To are
fairly common sights). Also web hosting providers and commercial SMTP
services (like you) tend to add a few custom headers to identify specific
subscribers. It's not universal by any means but I'd recommend it for the
service you're offering.

And, to to be fair, RFC 6648 (which is a best practice not a standard)
depreciates the use of the "X-" prefix in favour of general meaningful
custom headers (e.g. Complaints-To) so doing that is probably better.

Does that answer your question?

Ken.
