Re: Exchange 2007 sending email with internal name, not FQDN - HE
Today I got a message saying that it was from Bank of America regarding my
credit card. I wanted to confirm that it really was from BoA, so I looked at
the header. It showed the originating mail server as having a name such as
"srv4" and an IP address of 192.168.x.x. I'm pretty sure they aren't using
Exchange, and if an organization of that size shows this info in the header,
I don't think you have much to worry about.
By the way, I have implemented Exchange 2007 and I tried to change the name
used for SMTP to the external name but it wouldn't let me. Also, every
earlier verion of Exchange that I have used also showed the same info in the
mail headers.
