I use postfix with MailScanner and that’s why I cannot use:
/^Received:/ IGNORE
in my header_checks file, because i use:
/^Received:/ HOLD
(see http://www.sng.ecs.soton.ac.uk/mailscanner/install/postfix.shtml )
But it’s no problem, because it’s possible to remove mail headers also with
MailScanner.
Example:
========
You want to remove information about your LAN structure from mail headers sent
from your LAN and you use MailScanner for spam and virus check.
Let your LAN is 192.168.1.0/24 and let your SMTP gateway (postfix+MailScanner)
is 192.168.1.5.
Solution:
=========
1. open /etc/MailScanner/MailScanner.conf
2. find «Remove These Headers» in MailScanner.conf. In default MailScanner.conf
it should be something like this:
Remove These Headers = X-Mozilla-Status: X-Mozilla-Status2:
3. change this line to this:
Remove These Headers = %rules-dir%/remove.headers.rules
4. save and close MailScanner.conf
5. create/open file /etc/MailScanner/rules/remove.headers.rules (if your
%rules-dir% is /etc/MailScanner/rules) and put these 2 lines into remove.
headers.rules file:
*-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*
Nota el que use:
From: default Received: X-Mailer: X-MimeOLE:
*-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*
From: 192.168.1. Received: X-Mailer: X-MimeOLE:
FromOrTo: default X-Mozilla-Status: X-Mozilla-Status2:
6. save and close remove.headers.rules and restart/reload MailScanner
First line in remove.headers.rules means: if mail connection is from my LAN
(192.168.1.0/24) then remove mail headers ‘Received:’, ‘X-Mailer:’ and
‘X-MimeOLE:’ from this connection. There are no other ‘Received:’ headers in
this connection than ‘Received:’ with IP addresses of your LAN computers. If
email is comming from internet, then this line is omitted and you can see all
‘Received:’ headers in incomming email (and that’s what you want 🙂 ).
Second line is default condition (if first line is not matched) and for this
line I use default value from MailScanner.conf. You can put what you want in
this line or remove this line if no default condition is needed.
This solution works for me.
