Should I abandon OE and go with Outlook, Eudora or maybe possibly
Forte Agent? Do they give you any control over the headers?
Why not just run your own MTA instead of relying on a MUA to do it?
Because the MUA is the source of the problem, it's the one that places
all that X-header crap in there. Since it's the thing that's broken, I
figure it's the thing that needs fixing.
What I'm asking for is some sort of solution to first to strip all the
X-header stuff from the MUA (or for an MUA that doesn't create the
problem in the first place) and then for the MTA not to put in extra
junk in there. Nice if it's free, but I'm actually willing to pay $10
per month for something as simple as that, maybe even more.
Yes, as I mentioned, I can always run my own MTA, but my needs (which
have nothing to do with sending 10 billion spam emails per hour, and
have everything to do with nice-looking headers and being able to send
a couple dozen emails per day reliably) would require me to get a
dedicated server at a hosting provider, which usually costs $1,000 per
year and up.
If I wanted to I can run my own smtp server even from my dynamic dsl
connection, using a combination of dyndns and some other hacks out
there. I've done it in the past. I can have a static IP for a couple
dollars more and upgrade to a business-grade dsl connection as well.
But it's not good enough because of the huge headache of running a
server on your own premises.
The biggest problem of course is that all those trigger-happy
Admins/Spam nazis out there might not like my IP for some reason
(Verizon DSL ip - ha!) and put me out of business one day:
