The destination client is a Financial Organization who handles our
electronic billing. They are complaining that the X-Mailer: header is
causing a routing issue with their automation software and want us to
remove it.
Since they have the perception of control, they submit our billing and we
end up revenue, my boss (non technical type) responds favorably to their
demands and it all rolls down hill.

Declude nor IMail has this capability out of the box.
I'm not sure if Declude locks the D*.SMD file, but if it doesn't, you
could write some VBScript and call it as an external test from within
Declude and have it rewrite the D*.SMD file when it finds the header that
you want to remove. There are of course caveats with this approach. For
instance you can't whitelist such E-mail using WHITELIST AUTH or WHITELIST
IP in the global.cfg, and it is generally very useful to do so. You could
whitelist by IP in an ipfile type filter in Declude Standard, and/or a
regular filter in Declude Pro, and these filters are run after the
external tests so that would allow it to function and to whitelist
internal traffic. If your users don't always come from your own IP space,
then that severely limits your options here.
If Declude is locking that file, then you have to run another program
after Declude runs that will do this, but that is a can of worms as it can
create issues with reliably handling E-mail (Declude has it's own queue
that handles high volume conditions better than IMail does on it's
own). It would almost make more sense to add another box dedicated to
just this task if that was the case.
Headers are not meant to be edited once created. It would probably be a
better approach to see if you couldn't change the behavior of the E-mail
client first, or switch E-mail clients if it is doing something that you
don't like. Maybe if you also explain what specific piece of data it is
that you need to remove, and what client is creating it, someone here
might have some ideas.

correct phrase, the process is obscure or my morning Coffee hasn't
reached my brain probably the later.
We have an issue where the email client is attaching a X-Header we want
to remove. While I view this as a minor issue, the destination client
thinks otherwise. I'm in a position where the Boss say's make it happen
and I'm stuck in the middle trying to explain and find out why X-Mailer:
is creating a problem.
Is there a way to strip out a specific X-Header using Declude or Imail rules?
Thanks
