    The mail I receive has X-Get-Message-Sender-Via header when I check Google mail.

    As I understand it will be added by the mailserver. Can be this prevented within WHM as it is seen username and also hosting server ID.

    Hello,

    Can you verify what method you used to send the email? Also, in "WHM >> Exim Configuration Manager", under the "Mail" tab, let us know if any of the following options are enabled:

    EXPERIMENTAL: Rewrite From: header to match actual sender
    Set SMTP Sender: headers
    Query Apache server status to determine the sender of email sent from processes running as nobody
    Trust X-PHP-Script headers to determine the sender of email sent from processes running as nobody

    Thank you.

    Hello,

    Have you tried disabling those options to see if the issue persists?

    Thank you.

    That part is actually normal. The only way to avoid that is to use SMTP authentication in your PHP script instead of using the PHP mail function.

    Thank you.

    I see it is PHP programming issue.
    So, due to security, we keep DEFAULT values:
    Exim Configuration Manager: DISABLE > Default
    Set SMTP Sender OFF > Default
    Query Apache server status to determine the sender of email sent from processes running as nobody ON > Default
    Trust X-PHP-Script headers to determine the sender of email sent from processes running as nobody ON > Default

    Is this ok?

    Hello,

    Yes, it's fine to use the default values for those options unless you have a specific need not to.

    Thank you.

    Every mail that gets sent connects to a server using the IP address, hostname, and email account. As I understand we disable it by making customizations directly to the Exim configuration. Are there steps to follow and set Exim configuration and hide just username as it is seen CP username?

    Please post the specific part of the message header that you are attempting to hide. Also, is there a specific reason you prefer to hide this information?

    Thank you.

    There is a part where is quoted exact username for each Control panel account and sensitive information:

    X-Envelope-From: <XXX@YYYhosting.com>

    I like to hide XXX which is username and connected to the CP login and YYYhosting as sensitive information. XXX is actually crucial information.
