Mail Header localhost

Postby rudi » Mon Feb 11, 2008 10:39 am

Hi,
Does anybody know, if it is possible to remove the "Received: from" header with the localhost entry?

Received: from scalix.domain.com (localhost [127.0.0.1])
by scalix.domain.com (8.13.6/8.13.6/SuSE Linux 0.8) with ESMTP id m1BEZwMT005977

Thanks!!!!

I don't think it's possible.
It isn't legal.

RFC 2821 Section 4.4
An Internet mail program MUST NOT change a Received: line that was previously added to the message header. SMTP servers MUST prepend Received lines to messages; they MUST NOT change the order of existing lines or insert Received lines in any other location.

Hi, thanks for you answer.
Well its not a problem for me, but some people think this is a security hole. I don't know why.
