No, you don't.  Trust me.

1) It violates RFC 2821.

2) It can make detection of mail loops impossible.

3) If you think it adds security: it doesn't.

What you want to do is possible with MIMEDefang.  But I won't tell you how,
and I'd ask others on this list not to either. :-)  It's all in the man page
if you really want to do it.

Regards,

David.
