Searching for specifics in Internet Headers - Outlook 2003

[Tom Lich]

New here

Is there a way to perform a search against the Internet Header
information in Outlook 2003?

I'm trying to sort through the more frequent spamming hosts so I can set
up blocks on my Virtual SMTP Server in an attempt to stop these hosts
from being able to communicate with our mail servers.

The SPAM blocking application we have works great however, the
collection box fills up daily and I'm trying to prevent having to go
into it and clean it up every day.

Thanks

The Internet headers aren't exposed to the Outlook object model. You'd have
to use CDO 1.21 (optional installation for Outlook 2000 and later), Extended
MAPI (C++ or Delphi code only) or Redemption (www.dimastr.com/redemption) to
get the headers. CDO would throw a security prompt when accessing the
headers, the other methods wouldn't.

See http://www.slovaktech.com/code_samples.htm#InternetHeaders for a CDO
example of getting the headers.
