Changing the SMTP Message-ID field

2003-01-10 Thread McBee, Jim
Hi everyone!

   I have been asking around about this and no one seems to know.  I had
someone recently ask me how they can change the SMTP Message-ID field in
the SMTP header.  Their E2K servers are sending out a message ID that
they don't want sent.  It looks something like this:
 

Message-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

One of the objections to this is that it exposes the internal
machine name.  The other is that the company has changed their SMTP
domain name and it no longer matches the name in the Message-ID.  

I figure you can probably change it through SendMail or some
other solution that re-writes the header of the message, but I'm
wondering if there is a simpler solution.  

Any thoughts or ideas?

Thanks,

Jim
