Hi
Without explaining
here (see below) I would like to remove the "X-Message-Info" and the
"Received: " fields from mail sent to a list.
I have managed to
remove the X-Sender and X-Originating-Email by editing the
rc.submit/rc.local.s20 but using the same technique foe the other
fields does not work.
I have the following
in the rc.local.s20 file:
:0 fhw
| formail -IX-Message-Info: -IReceived
-IX-Sender: -IX-Originating-Email:
Can someone advise
how I might do this?
========================
Now if you want to
know why I want to do this its not some sinister hack, actually quite simple.
I maintain several
email lists totalling about 70,000 names and it is a hazard that some people get
on the list by accident. I always provide for unsubscribing and as a very public
figure (I am a member of the Parliament in my country) I am aware
of the SPAM implications.
However because
I travel so much I redirect all my email from various accounts to a
Hotmail Premium account which allows me to use Outlook to manage the address
database and also to send and receive hundreds of emails daily from anywhere and
on any internet connection.
Also I can use
Frontpage to construct "nice" email newsletters which then uses Outlook to send
them to the list via my Hotmail account. So far so good!
However it only
takes 3 (I repeat just 3 people!) to complain to Hotmail about SPAM and
they will shutdown your account AUTOMATICALLY without any contact or
question even though you are a paying premium customer!
So I am happy for
people to contact me to either abuse me and/or to ask for removal from the list
however I want to hide the fact that the original email was sent via my
Hotmail account and the headers of the newsletter still have the header
information like this:
X-Message-Info:
txF49lGdW41bSEufHX0Z8j6mSUSlMGNAGUJvcjBa8gk=
Received: from
host.our-web-host.com ([209.239.36.67]) by bay0-mc12-f19.bay0.hotmail.com with
Microsoft SMTPSVC(6.0.3790.1830);

As you can see from
the above rc.local.s20 file these headers stay in!
thanks
