What is the X-MXL-HASH and to what does it apply?

jlopilato · 7 Sep 2016, 03:20 AM

I'm looking for an explanation of a packet of information in the Raw Source of an email. This packet is identified as "X-MXL-HASH:". The packet that follows the colon seems to be the MD 5 or the SHA of something or some part of the email. I have not been able to find out any information about this packet.

I am hoping that someone in this community can supply me with some information as to what part of an email makes up or is used to calculate the Hash.

Thanks in advance for any responses received.

I would be interested in finding out also. A search leads one to believe that it is perhaps to do with blacklisted ip addresses...

It appears to be part of McAfee tracking added to the headers.

Here is a example with that and similar headers - https://community.mcafee.com/thread/75338?tstart=0
