Hi there, above all, thanks for being able to join this board!
Well, I have an account on a ubuntu webserver, running exim4 as sendmail replacement. And, I want to prevent exim from sending out the "X-Relay-User" header line. Reason behind is, that I am running a real email account together with several email redirects to this single email account. So, whenever such a redirect / forwarding address is being spammed, I can simply close it and open a slightly different one and use this instead. This only works securely as long as the name of the "real" email account is not written into the "X-Relay-User" line when sending from this account. The funny thing is: When accessing /usr/sbin/exim4 locally, then Squirrel email client is able to write the header without "X-Relay-User" info. But, when accessing exim via smtp on a different box then this directive is ignored and the real email address is part of the header. Does exim only accept customized headers when called from /usr/sbin/exim4? Is it part of the default settings to write this info into the header? Can exim be told to not write X-Relay-User even when called via smtp? Thanks for any info!
