Value of the variables %org-name% %org-long-name% %web-site% set by a ruleset

[Martin Hepworth]

Hi

Only way I think of right now (caffeine levels still rising) is to have
different instances of MailScanner watching separate inbound queues for the
different domains. 

If you use a single instance of MS, and email to domain1 AND domain2, how
would it handle this?

In regards to 'from' the %org-name% parts are merely indications that mail
has been scanned and shouldn't be relied on to be 'trusted' that it has
indeed come from that firm. The reason the org-name is in the headers is
that people started to trust the headers and let alleged MS scanned email
straight through without virus scanning etc. So some clever virus writer
noticed this and produced a virus that had the X-MailScanner headers in the
email it sent in order to circumvent peoples security.

This meant the more unique org-name was added to the headers in order to try
and make the headers a little more unique and circumvent this issue.

So I wouldn't really take much issue myself with the outbound email, people
use all sorts or services for email lists and a great many are third party,
where you have no control of people to do SPF or anything like that to
verify the sender if who they say they are..
