if somebody likes to delete ip or hostname stuff in postfix you may use i.e /^received:.*ip\.add\.re\.ss/ IGNORE in header_checks there are a few reasons sombody might hide i.e internal ips/hostnames i.e i remember an antispamsolution ( which was teribble missconfigured ) of a big american university , that interpreted all dynamic ip ( the whole net of german telekom) in the header instead of the last mailrelay ip and therefore it leads to bouncing all mail delivered over the mailrelay anyway hostnames are not secret, and manipulate headers is not recommended -- Best Regards MfG Robert Schetterer Germany/Munich/Bavaria
