I've been removing the "tracking headers" for years (via PF header
checks). IMO they fill no discernible purpose when crossing the
administrative barrier (either going in or out). Since most of my
(actually quite knowledgeable) lusers know, none have ever
complained;-).

If MS now can do it for those MTAs that might lack that ability... is sweet:-).
