This is somewhere in a registry key of internet explorer or something.
Just search your registry for you own SMTP server.
In VB 5 the getreg or something only works for a specific part of the
registry.
I believe you need to use an API call to get from other parts in the
registry.
Maybe a function was added in later version of vb/.NET

In general, you just need to parse out the last (in sequence, first
in time) Time Stamp Line(s) in the message headers.
See RFC 821. Sect 4.1.2 for specifications of this line.
Your message tells me:
Received: from fep04-svc.ttys.com (mx-out.ttys.com [80.239.199.130])
by databaseadvisors.com (8.11.6/8.11.6) with ESMTP id h69FenQ02022;
Wed, 9 Jul 2003 10:40:49 -0500
Received: from localhost ([127.0.0.1]) by fep04-svc.ttys.com
(InterMail vM.5.01.03.13 201-253-122-118-113-20010918) with
SMTP id <20030709154050.OBHR1637.fep04-svc.ttys.com at localhost>;
So your SMTP Server appears to be 80.239.199.130 and it's called both
fep04-svc.ttys.com (it's internal name) or mx_out.ttys.com (it's
Canonical name which you get when you do a nslookup on
80.239.199.130).
It also tells me what mail server software ttys.com is using.
Note:
If you are trying to use it to track spam though, that won't work for
very often since they generally forge some of the headers.
