How can I add an X-Header

B

Bob Sisson

Is there an EASY way to add an X-Header to all my OUTGOING mail?

I am running Outlook2002 SP2.

My USE is to bypass my own spamfilter. When I send a request for
information to a new company, they are not yet on my "OK" list, so there is
a high chance my spam filter will catch and eat it on the way back.

If I add an X-Header that identifies the message as OK because I originated
the request, it will bypass my spam filter.

Is there an EASY way to do this ? Can I Edit one of the existing fields
that no-one uses such as the Version number of Outlook that I am using?

I could put a keyword in my Signature line, but that would mean that the
spam filter would need to read the message body, which REALLY slows things
down and is more open to other problems. I really would like to stick a
keyword (like 'ambidextrous') in the header somewhere.

Thanks

Bob

It can be done using Extended MAPI (C++ or Delphi code only) or by using
Redemption code. Go to www.dimastr.com/redemption, click on the Redemption
Objects button and one of the last code examples on that page shows how to
add an X-header to any outgoing email. Of course Exchange only emails won't
have any headers. In short, the X-header is created as a special MAPI
property and when sent out the MAPI transport converts that into an
X-header.
