RE: Email masking

I agree that it does help in troubleshooting but I was concerned about
exposure of my internal network setup along with machine names being sent
out over the net.  While this doesn't directly aid in security it would make
it more difficult for someone to find out my internal network setup with
this information not being broadcasted over the wire on email transmissions.

You really don't want to do this.  As a sysadmin with about 20 years
experience looking at e-mail headers, the information is absolutely critical
in solving many issues, and you do not gain a darn thing ripping them out.
