Not true. The entire SMTP session is available to administrators with Exchange.
GMail doesn't make that information available to ANYone. ________________________________________ From: Ben Scott [[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, June 18, 2009 5:51 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: Google Mail On Thu, Jun 18, 2009 at 3:22 PM, Joseph L.

That won't appear on Gmail in mail sent from Gmail, since the "Received:" headers are appended by the *receiving* mail server, which is after the mail leaves the Gmail account. Same as Outlook won't show Internet Headers for mail you've *sent* from Outlook. Normally, if you can determine this kind of inofmration, it would be from the DSN (bounce message). Unfortunately, Google's MTA does not appear to include information on the MX it was talking to. You get the error message, but that's it. I wish all MTAs would report the name and IP address of the MX being attempted, and include a transcript of the SMTP session, the way Sendmail does. Exchange is as bad as Gmail is for this.
