Purpose
As you know, each e-mail sent by Exchange server outside contains internal host names and IP addresses in some SMTP headers.
Some people believe that it makes the organization vulnerable and want to hide or rewrite such "dangerous" information.
HeaderRewriter software application is developed to help on this matter.
HeaderRewriter allows an Exchange administrator to substitute any substring in the following SMTP headers of outgoing messages:
- Boundaries
- In-Reply-To
- Message-ID
- Received
- References
Current version: 1.0.0.4
