 As I understand that, that's specifically for messages that originated

 possible transport.

Ah - no. I sorta thought of that. Nope - it stripped existing Received
headers out. Stoopid, stooopud, stped


 If Exchange sends the message via SMTP, or exposes it via IMAP, it
 constructs something more standards compliant, it's only when you
 export directly from Outlook that you get this mess.

Yes - it's probable a MAPI thing (not IMAP). I bet Received headers are
kept in some MAPI metadata blob and don't follow the main message blob
when drag-n-dropped into an IMAP folder. Still - no excuse for such
heinous behaviour.

while we're having a grizzle...

how about the Outlook/MAPI feature where if you copy/move an Exchange
mail message onto an IMAP folder, what arrives can barely be described
as a legitimate mail message: it has no Received: headers, and it's
To/From lines consist of Jason Haar instead of Jason Haar
email@address. You can imagine what spamassassin thinks about such
messages...

Words fail me...

Just curious, since the last week one of our mail

I am aware of the RFC3834 but not sure if our
Exchange server is following it.


Of course is does not. Microsoft does not follow standards.
It does violate them, break them, misinterpret them...

*sigh*

Just got a FP report...

... about an Out of Office message...

... generated by Outlook 15...

... which, among other things, seems to go to great lengths to look like
spam, by way of the HTML formatting overkill that hits a local rule for
HTML comments over 32K long.

*headdesk*

Someone please tell me, how is it Necessary for a three-line OOO message
to include more than 32K of CSS gibberish?

Outlook shares code with MS Word for its dealings with HTML. It's 
usually pretty easy to detect and make exceptions for in rules.

Since you are mentioning 'Out of office' messages

Is anybody else got in trouble due to this 'fantastic'
auto responder feature? Especially when these email
are generated by an Exchange server.

Just curious, since the last week one of our mail
server (for outbound traffic) got listed in one
