Here are some example headers from an email sent from an internal Exchange
account to an account on Dovecot ([email protected]):
-------
Received: from mail.domain.test
by appserver4.domain.com (Dovecot) with LMTP id z7RGLzH4uldlPAAAxdv4Dw
for <[email protected]>; Mon, 22 Aug 2016 09:03:45 -0400

I want the part that says "by appserver4.domain.com (Dovecot)" to say "by
mail.domain.test (Dovecot)". I don't want it to say the FQDN of the actual
host server that is running Dovecot.
The server currently referenced as "mail.domain.test" in the headers is
postfix running on the same machine.
Thanks in advance!
