There appears to be some obfuscation there... do you *actually* mean you have the two boxes set with 'hostnames' or with 'HELO' as ...'ourwindowsbox'... '...ourlinuxbox...' or something else.. Aside from the two IP's listed, are there other IP or <domain>.<tld>: - will the servers be in a pool, use other IP, relay from other IP? - do they need to selectively 'HELO' depending on sender or choice of 'interface'? - do you need to support forms or other web-driven mailing tools? > > Is it possible to remove the second set of "Received" headers so that it > doesn't show a reference to the Ourwindowsbox.com domain name? > With mailing list management software, yes, 'tick a box' easily.
