What my company wants is for an email box to be set up so that when an email is sent to it, the From: field would be blanked out so that it would be anonymous. Is there any way to do this either through Exchange or third party software?

If you're using Exchange 2010 try the following in the Exchange Management Shell.

New-TransportRule -Name "Remove Header: From" -SentTo RecipientAlias -RemoveHeader "From"

This should create you a Hub Transport rule to remove the From header. All you need to do is change RecipientAlias to the actual alias of this anonymous receiving mailbox.

Thanks for the input - that indeed sounds like what I am trying to do, but unfortunately we are running 2k3. I'm assuming this wouldn't be a valid option for me? – stayinwett Nov 12 '10 at 15:21
No, transport rules were new in Exchange 2007 and improved in Exchange 2010. Now I know it's Exchange 2003, I'll have a poke around. – Ben Pilbrow Nov 12 '10 at 17:37
