Re: System i mail server not properly identifying itself

Chipping in kind of late, but had another observation. Not only is the TCP
name and IP address of your System i sent in the email, but your system
serial number is as well.

Probably time for IBM to add a couple of parameters to the SMTP server to
mung those headers for us.

Sometimes we are all too paranoid, but then something happens and we say,
duh, I knew that would happen.

If you put a SMTP server between the i5 and your Exchange box you could
munge the headers all you wanted, removing any offending values. Change
the i5 to send to newbox.internal.lan and the have newbox.internal.lan
munge and forward to exchange.server.lan and then out to the net.
