When sending an email most users would not know the options but under the
message header there is info from the system level stuff regarding Blat and
platform info.
It is good to promote blat but my only concern is if you tell the wrong
people what tools you are using they may utilize that to breach your
environment regardless of what tools you are using.
Is there a way to turn off some of the header details?
***@domain.com Using Blat v2.6.2 w/GSS encryption, a Win32 SMTP/NNTP
mailer http://www.blat.net is what gmail shows (I edited the
***@domain.com) and down in the actual message header it has:
X-Mailer: Blat v2.6.2 w/GSS encryption, a Win32 SMTP/NNTP mailer
http://www.blat.net
So it looks like an X-Mailer setting somewhere?
Yes we do promote Blat in the locations it is used just some of the emails
are external and want to limit the risk that someone knows we are using
blat or windows or encyrption - although some of it is required to
transform the message. Interesting re Win32 as it is on a Win64 2012 server
must just be the protocol used re SMTP vs Win32. Will have to check into
that as well LOL
many thanks
