I would just like to ask where I can apply to become an official
Microsoft X-header analyst and/or creator. Reading these reminds me of
the old days when I had Eudora and set it up so that it added an
X-Because-I-Can: header well, because I could. But I do question the
wisdom of adding some 5K worth of idiotic X-headers to a message whose
body content is one line of abused URL shortener trying to sell me
make-penis-fast pills. YMMV.

I mean, what could the possible value be of a header like

 X-MS-Exchange-CrossTenant-FromEntityHeader: Internet

? Or

 X-MS-PublicTrafficType: Email

? Of COURSE it's email. And I love this:

 X-IncomingHeaderCount: 21

and yet there are at least 36 headers in the first example Daniele sent.

And despite the fact that Daniele sent message #2 from kernel-panic.it,
you still have

 X-OriginatorOrg: outlook.com

which is, frankly, incorrect. Unless I misunderstand the meaning of
"originator".

We recently refused mail from a potential licensee because their own
Forefront server labeled it as spam. Authenticated, outbound, and so on,
and they still thought it was worthy of rejecting, so we rejected it (I
still don't quite understand why once a message has been determined to
be spam it is still relayed - but I don't have that many X-headers to
draw on). Is there anything at all about these headers that has value?
