Sorry to disagree, but in case of malicious code this doesn't help me 
much. Any header field can be faked.

The only way to assure a message has passed my server is to have my 
server sign it digitally with the private GPG key of its postmaster. 
So anybody can download the corresponding public key and verify the 
contents (but i assume you all know how PGP or GPG work).

And that is exactly what I intend to do. After a local mail user 
agent handed over the message to XMail, it should be passed on to my 
script verifying the validity (again, I will have to deal with this 
very carefully) and signing the message body. Then the message will 
get delivered via SMTP.

I do similar things with incoming messages, as stated before. And if 
I understood the docs 'Custom domain mail processing' (Part 10) lets 
me do everything I need, except modify the message body. :-(

So I need 'Domain message filters' (Part 13, you see, I _know_ the 
docs ;-) ) in the reversed direction. 

Excuse me if I am insisting, but can anyone tell me: can I modify 
outgoing mail message bodies (from my users to domains not handled by 
my server) or not ? 

  Thanks for your patience
