[NTLUG:Discuss] OT:E-mail Header How-To

[Kenneth Loafman]

You can thank spammers for one thing, the fight has forced those of us 
that fight spam to actually document some of the arcane features of the 
mail system.  The first two links are from anti-spam organizations.

This is a good description of email for the lay person:
http://www.stopspam.org/email/headers.html

And this is how to actually see the headers in most email clients:

And if you want to delve further into the standards:

The rest of the standards can be found at:

...Thanks,
...Ken
