In general you don't want to remove/ignore the "Received:" headers as they
often provide clues about the spammyness or hammyness of a message.
For example if a "Received:" header that contains a reference to
'optinsender.com' then that's a spam clue, but if it contains a reference
to your CEO/Dean/president's machine then it's a ham clue (we hope ;).
If there is one specific "Received:" header that is added by your local
mail system you could remove that but it is probably not necessary.
If the header is alway added to each message (both ham & spam) and
you learn an adequate amount of both ham & spam, then that header
should get a 'neutral' scoring value and thus be effectivly ignored.
One question, is that header added before or after the SA processing?
If after, then this is a total non-issue. ;)
