I would like to send custom headers via mail to ACS (we're looking for feature parity with mailgun). Eventually I would like to know if a user clicked on a mail, which environment it was from (prod or staging), was it sent as a marketing campaign or not etc.

    Azure ACS documentation may help you

    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/azure.communication.email.emailmessage.headers?view=azure-dotnet

    according to the documentation

    Headers property of EmailMessage class will solve your problem

    here is an example code block 

    using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using Azure.Communication.Email;
using Azure.Communication.Email.Models;
class Program
{
    static async Task Main(string[] args)
    {
      
        
		EmailClient emailClient = new EmailClient(connectionString);

 
        
		var emailContent = new EmailContent("Welcome to ACS Email APIs.") 
		{ 
			PlainText = "This email message is sent from ACS Email.", 
			Html = "<html><body><h1>Quick send email test</h1><br/><h4>This email message is sent from Azure Communication Service Email.</h4><p>This mail was sent using .NET SDK!!</p></body></html>" 
		}; 

		// Create the EmailMessage 
		var emailMessage = new EmailMessage( 
		senderAddress: "donotreply@xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx.azurecomm.net" 
		resource recipientAddress: "emailalias@contoso.com" 
		content: emailContent);


        var customHeaders = new Dictionary<string, string>
        {
            { "X-Environment", "staging" },
            { "X-Campaign", "marketing" }
        };

   	
        emailMessage.Headers = customHeaders;

        
		EmailSendOperation emailSendOperation = emailClient.Send(WaitUntil.Completed, emailMessage); 
		
 		Console.WriteLine($"Email Sent. Status = {emailSendOperation.Value.Status}");

    }
}
