Would it make things any easier if I were to reinstall the Exchange software on company XYZ's server? I just installed it recently and haven't really set it up at all.
On that thought, if I were to obtain a separate server, create a domain called XYZ just for that server, do you think I could accomplish my goal here? It would be ideal if, in the headers, it would be like "Received by: workstations1 (local IP) by emailserver1.xyz.com". Emphasis on the workstation's domain (abc.com) not showing up in there. That server would be it's own solitary domain controller, unless I can work something out with Domains and Trusts. I don't know too much about how that would go down. If I were to "establish a full trust" between the domains, I could slowly migrate the workstations over to their new domain too.

You can change how the server announces itself, but removing the domain from the headers totally is impossible. You would have to build a new domain. Forget about renaming the domain - while technically possible the consensus in the Exchange community is that renaming a domain with Exchange involved is not a good idea.
ESM, Servers, <your server>, Protocols, SMTP. Right click on the default and choose Properties. Click on the tab Delivery and then Advanced. Change the FQDN box.
