Apologies for giving this a gentle nudge, but still confused as to where the headers are going / what's causing them to be removed and hoping someone may have some insight.
Thanks, Matt

Hi all,
Im a new dovecot user and a first-time poster so please forgive me if this is a stupid question, or even (as I suspect it might be) not really a Dovecot question.
My system is the fairly typical mix of postfix, amavis-new, and Dovecot. For some reason Ive noticed that when I look at the mail headers for delivered messages the Received header is missing the detail of any external servers that the mail went through, and additionally the tag appears twice; for example the Welcome to the dovecot mailing list email has:
Received: from localhost (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by droplet.the-wyvern.net (Postfix) with ESMTP id DDDD163F73 for myname@mydomain.net; Mon, 26 Aug 2013 16:40:19 +0000 (UTC)
Received: from droplet.the-wyvern.net ([127.0.0.1]) by localhost (droplet.the-wyvern.net [127.0.0.1]) (amavisd-new, port 10024) with ESMTP id 6AFMiG0TAHUv for myname@mydomain.net; Mon, 26 Aug 2013 16:40:17 +0000 (UTC)
Searching through the dovecot.markmail archive I can see this doesnt seem to be too unusual in that there are other examples where folk have posted message headers with the above format, however Im wondering if theres a good reason for it and if I can turn it off? I quite like being able to see where my mail came from :)
If theres a man / wiki page to read somewhere that explains it then please feel free to tell me to RTM (.. long as you also point me in the right direction :p )
Thanks, Matt
