Using telnet to access the SMTP server directly, I was able to send an
e-mail with NO ADDED headers. Each server it passes through will add
headers. In the message below, the servers added the Return-Path,
Received, From, Bcc, Message-ID, X-OriginalArrivalTime, and Date
headers themselves.
Here is a copy of the message I sent:
Return-Path: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Received: from XXXXX ([AAA.BBB.CCC.DDD]) by XXXXX
(InterMail vM.6.00.05.02 201-2115-109-103-20031105) with ESMTP
id <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
for <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; Wed, 28 Jan 2004 18:47:28 -0500
Received: from ([192.168.0.2]) by XXXXX with Microsoft SMTPSVC(5.0.2195.6713); Wed,

From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Bcc:
Return-Path: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
X-OriginalArrivalTime: 28 Jan 2004 23:46:21.0956 (UTC) FILETIME=[EEEB6440:01C3E5F8]

No headers?
