send an anonymous email via exchange

[rurapente]

your big companies like the fraud reporting lines etc use software that receives the mail, strips-off the sender IDs etc and either forwards it on under an alias, or logs it a work queue somewherwe.

As mentioned however, there is always traceability. Perhaps though if you outsourced to to a 3rd party company they would feel better? But it will cost u.

I know reviving an ancient post is not a good thing, but I am bored and only saw this one now.

If using Exim or Sendmail you can simply use header rewriting. Setup one mailbox for the HR group let's call it [email protected]. Give the HR people access to this mailbox and obviously instructions. Now in Exim or sendmail create the header rewriting rules for all mail destined to this address and strip out all the from or identifiable fields from the mail.

I would however log the changes so that you can still do some tracing of mails on the backend. Not see who sent the mail but rather to troubleshoot mail delivery errors and such things.

MS Exchange is not an "anonymous" system.
Everything is "ticketed"
everything is "message tracked".

The only solution:

a) Create a new mailbox on Exchange called "[email protected]"
username: anonymous.yourdomain.whatever
password: anonymous
set password to "never expire"

b) distribute the username & password to all staff.
c) ALL staff use Outlook web Access to open THIS mailbox and send an email to the boss/HR/public folder.

This is your best option... when sending the mail, click the "from" tab and choose the anonymous address.
