Striping Email, and forwarding

[Semperfi2004]

Does anyone know within MSExchange 2003, if you can receive an email, Strip out who it is from, then forward it back to the orginal user, without it knowing it knowing it went to someone else?

Example:
User1@ CompanyA.com sends an email to User2@CompanyB.com.
User2@CompanyB.com forwards the email to User3@CompanyC.com.
Then User3@CompanyC.com forwards the email back to User1@ CompanyA.com. Without knowing, User2@CompanyB.com was in the loop.
Thank you

Uh, if user 3 strips the forward header from user2, it will be erased.
But, it seems a bit silly, as user1 sends TO user2, user1 MUST know user2 was in the loop, as that is where they sent it to! They will only wonder why user3 was in the loop.

Besides, a mail from user1 to user2 forwarded to user3, forwared back to user1 will give user1 back the original mail, now what is the purpose of that?

It may sound silly, but there is a purpose. Without getting into long drawn out details, it all deals with a User1 changing their password, on User2's website.

We'd prefer the email reflect the change coming from us (User3), instead of User2 domain.

User2 has aggreed to forward User1's email to us(User3), so it could reflect that we(user3) reset their password for them.

The website that User2 has, has our Stamp on it. So, User1, doesn't even know that User2 is involved.

Send the email using CDO and you can specify what address to use as the sender.

Here is sample code. You merely need to pull in the user email address in the oTO variable and change the message if you don't like what I put. Also update the oMyIP to point to your SMTP server.

Hey Mark,
I think this may be what I am looking for, please let me know if I am correct on how this will work.

1. Joe@ACompany.com logs onto

http://www.MyVender.com.

2. Joe changes his password.
3. Instead of MyVender.com, Replying back with the changed Password to Joe@ACompany.com.
4. The Email is forword to My Company. In the following format:
From: Name@MyVender.com
To: DistList@MyCompany.com

Dear Joe@ACompany.com you new Password is: XXXXX.

5. With your VBScript. I can Edit the Email,Replace Name@MyVender.com in with DistList@MyCompany.com in the From: Field. and place Joe@ACompany.com in the To: Field. ? All in an Automated Process ?

Thank you.

Why not have your vendor simply send the email for you. They can set the from address to be that of your company. They can also CC or BCC your company. Give thier company rights to relay through your SMTP server and the message will be initiated from their end but actually sent from your end.

I hope you find this post helpful.

Mark

Hey Mark, thank you. I will ask. However, I think for whatever reason, they didn't want to do that for some reason.
Thank you.
