Determine SMTP Sender address?
Having an increase in messages where the SMTP sender is not the MIME sender. The MIME sender is shown in Outlook, and the SMTP sender is shown in SMTPReceive .TXT logs produced by Exchange. Between these two items, there is no way to link an e-mail together other than guessing using timestamps. My question is: How in Outlook (if at all possible) and how in EMC is it possible to view the SMTP sender of an e-mail? I'm curious to see the whole picture of some of these junk e-mails.

So, in Outlook, looking at internet headers, will show you the MIME sender. The SMTP sender (which you can also refer to as the envelope sender) is what appears in Exchange logs. I want to be able to associate these two, per message. Of course unauthenticated e-mail is never reliable. This information is helpful for various reasons, even if untrustworthy.

That's correct. >I want to be able to associate these two, per message. Of course unauthenticated e-mail is never reliable. No, but unless the Message-ID is duplicated you can use that to find all you need to know. >This information is helpful for various reasons, even if untrustworthy. --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP
