Nope these are bogus. I have seperate rules for them in the last Rule
Emporeum update. I used seperate, as they often are seen in pairs. Although
I didn't tag X-Email, because I'm not sure about that one.

Not sure how "legitimate" X-ENVID is, but I ran across this yesterday.

I was reviewing headers of messages dumped to my Exchange Public Folder for
messages that were scored as spam but the users want.  I ran across a
message that used the X-ENVID header, message looked spammy to SA, but it
was an animated greeting card that was sent via smilepop.com.  So take your
pick, if you are using SA for yourself, it shouldn't matter, but if you are
running SA for multiple people this could be an issue.
