Remove the header from exim

[chris0147]

Hi all,

I need your help. I am using my own smtp server to connect so when I send the email I will get the two headers of Received: from which is from my smtp and from exim. So I would like to remove the header from the exim:

Received: from mail.mydomain.com ([107.xxx.xxx.xx]) by appmaildev.com with Microsoft SMTPSVC(8.5.9600.16384);

Can you please help me with how I can remove the header from the exim?

Do you know how I could do that?

If you know how I can remove it, do you know what file I need to configure or what I need to input in the header in order to get it to remove the header?

I want to know how to do it as I don't need two headers as I only need the header from my smtp server.

Thanks in advance

Hello @chris0147,

You'd need to setup a custom Exim filter rule to remove or replace specific aspects of the message header. This level of customization falls outside our general scope of support, however I'm happy to point you in the right direction. The following threads offer examples of methods you might use for this purpose:

Exim filter to rewrite 'From' address on certain incoming mail

If you need help developing the specific Exim filter rule, you may want to reach out to a system administrator. We provide a list of companies offering system administration services at:

Thank you.

Hi all,

I read through some of these older threads related to this issue, and just wanted to provide some more details on what I think is the best solution.

See here: How to Customize the Exim System Filter File | cPanel & WHM Documentation

I just verified it works and will not be overwritten by cPanel. It's a supported mechanism. Here's the example file file I have located under the directory /usr/local/cpanel/etc/exim/sysfilter/options:

# CUSTOM FILTER
if "${if def:header_X-PHP-Script: {there}}" is there
then
headers remove X-PHP-Script
endif

if "${if def:header_X-PHP-Originating-Script: {there}}" is there
then
headers remove X-PHP-Originating-Script
endif
