Not true.

The entire SMTP session is available to administrators with Exchange.

GMail doesn't make that information available to ANYone.

  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.  Blech.
