What Really Happened Here?
I’ve recently been hired to fulfil a short contract for a company within the city.
A signature block from me (MyName@TempCompany.com) was devised to appear on any Emails sent from my new account on the company’s inTRAnet.
Later, at home, accessing my Emails on my own private inTERnet account, there appeared the message we used earlier in the day at the office to test the new signature block for these Inter-company Emails. I thought this was odd, so,
I right-clicked the message, went into ‘details’ and then ‘message source’. The Tech who put MyName in the signature block did not know of my private INTERNET alias membership, nor who my ISP Provider is, and yet, the message source clearly shows MyAlias and MyIspProvider as a result of merely using “MyName”.
(Here are the ‘details’ from Message Source):
Return-Path:
Received: from exchange.TempCompany.com ([xxx.xx.xxx.xxx])

(InterMail vM.5.01.05.17 xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx-xxxxxxxx) with ESMTP
id <##############.BLAH######.priv-edtnes16-
(This is where my question is directed):
hme0.MyIspProvider.net@exchange.TempCompany.com>
for
Message-ID: <"thirtyeightcharacters"@exchange.TempCompany.com>
From: Tech One
To: “‘MyAlias@MyIspProvider.net'”
