Hi,

I am currently using Javamail to send out basic emails.
I want to be able to prevent forwarding of these mails. I can do this through Lotus Notes but I cannot find how to do it programmatically, if it is possible.

Thanks,
Marcus
 
I don't think you can ... an email is just a plain ascii text file - what the MTA or client does with that file at the other end is up to them.

Thanks sedj

It is the Lotus Notes client that enforces the no forwarding rule.
It adds a header to the email
Sensitivity: private
This prevents the mail being forwarded by Lotus Notes.

If you send it to a webmail account it has no effect.
