Regardless of our own personal disagreements. To answer your question: Yes it is possible, but there is no setting for it. You'll need to open up the source of qmail (or whatever MTA you decide to use) and make changes to it in order to do this. Removal of, or not adding in, the client IP of the sender does not follow SMTP standards and understand that if you do this it might result in other hosts blocking all mail from your mail server(s) and/or IP block. It would be a trick that most spammers would use to hide themselves, and therefore is not highly liked by the mail server community ;). It's open source, it's unix, so you're limited only to your abilities to change the code. But there is no easy solution that we have for you, I'm sorry. And judging from the response we've seen here, I wouldn't expect to get a lot of help either. My apologies, but that's your answer.
