We have tested sending to third party endpoints as well as using ReceiveFAX(). 
In every case, the header is there, meaning it's in the TIFF file which 
ReceiveFAX produces.

But in the meantime, I have found out where it comes from. We don't use 
hardware faxes, but a network fax software which is based on CAPI on the server 
side. So we are using a T38 CAPI emulator on the server, and it has turned that 
this piece of software is inserting the unwanted header. Nor Asterisk nor our 
fax software are responsible, but the T38 "driver" - the last place where I had 
thought of.

I had a conversation with the developer of the emulator; he promised that he 
would change the software and the configuration dialog in a way that users 
could disable the unwanted header.

Recursive
