           Summary: headers add/remove in user filters
           Product: Exim
           Version: 4.63
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW

It would be very convenient if users could add/remove headers within Exim 
filters, instead of having to pipe the mail through procmail or formail and 
back to Exim. Semantically, I think it should be as if each "headers add" and 
"headers remove" command appends to the headers_add and headers_remove options 
of the corresponding router. If the user adds a header and later in the same 
filter wants it removed, he should have used control structures to avoid adding 
it in the first place.

This is of course not trivial; if it were, it would already be implemented. The 
commands do *not* work the same in the system filter.

Security considerations: The same header checks as for incoming local messages 
from untrusted users should probably be performed, at least if the message is 
going to leave the system.
