Hello,


I have a IIS 4.0 installed on my site behind a firewall.
This system is used to send mails to the outside world.

This works correctly.

Now for security reasons, I'd like to hide the internal name and
IP address of my server which is visible when the you look in the
mail headers

Here is a sample of header that the mail recipient is able to read....


Return-Path: <desti...@hostname.com>

Received: from fr.trader.com (213.41.40.164) by post.hebdomag.com
(Worldmail 1.3.167) for pman...@trader.com; 15 Jun 2000 08:59:12-0400

Received: from mailrelay ([192.192.192.192]) by hebdomag.com with
Microsoft SMTPSVC(5.5.1877.197.19); Thu, 15 Jun 2000 15:00:55 +0200


In the above sample I like to configure my SMTP relay to hide his name
(mailrelay) and it's internal IP (192.192.192.192)

Thanks in advance for your help.

then you would never be able to track the isp that a spammer has used

Thanks for your precious answer.
It had a great added value.....

And for your information this server will only relay
the internal mail to the outside world.
No spammer except my systems will be able to use this system

I want to avoid to disclose my internal IP addressing (private)
to the outside world....

Oops ;) word 'internal' didn't register with my brain ...

I'm not sure you can hide the IP address but you can certainly change the
name that appears in the header.
