Option to not add "Received" header ?
Hi everyone,
I use Dovecot in lmtp mode to receive mails.
I would like an option to tell Dovecot to not add a "Reveived" header on each server (I use a director, so Director also adds this header).
Is it possible to do this ? Or could it be a future feature ?
Thank you.
Florent
I know about RFC's, but that could be an option, not enabled by default.

I would love this as well.
How about the other way around: Does anybody want Dovecot LMTP to add a Received header? dovecot-lda doesn't. And proxy/director logs nowadays about what goes through them. Dovecot itself doesn't check the Received headers in any way for looping or other purposes. Maybe Dovecot v2.3 shouldn't add any Received headers at all?

I can think of some deployments where I would set it one way and some where I would the other way.

IMHO The "Received:" may be handy for purposes of debugging delivery. I can easily agree with your "suggestion" that it should not be added _by default_ .

I'm good with this as well, as long as there is a way to not have them.
Would love it sooner than 2.3 though ;)
Thanks.
