Right now there's no way to alter Mandrill messages to include/edit things like Mandrill metadata or tags.

This was also requested in #1661350: Allow more customization of message from drupal_mail but not added (instead that issue added support for file attachments).

Attached adds a simple drupal_alter() right before the message is sent.

@pal4life No worries, this allows modules to implement hook_mandrill_mail_alter() and alter any message parameters in $mandrill_message before sending.

/**
 * Implements hook_mandrill_mail_alter().
 */
function mymodule_mandrill_mail_alter(&$mandrill_message, $original_message) {
  $mandrill_message['metadata']['my_tracking_id'] = $original_message['my_tracking_id'];
}

That's a very simple example which inserts 'my_tracking_id' into metadata in the Mandrill message. You can then use this with Mandrill webhooks to process/track updates and use 'my_tracking_id' to uniquely identify which message the updates relate to.
