RE: [Exim] received_header_text wildcards?

Hi Philip,

Thanks for the reply. I had looked in the generic options for routers
section, but not the generic options for transports!

Since the option type is specified with a string (name of header), I thought
the following syntax would work, but I'm not having very good luck:

dnslookup:
driver = dnslookup
domains = ! +local_domains
transport = remote_smtp
ignore_target_hosts = 0.0.0.0 : 127.0.0.0/8
headers_remove = Received
no_more

Is "received" not the proper name for this header?

Thanks,

David

From the chapter on generic options for transports in the Exim 4 manual:

headers_remove                  Type: string*                  Default:
unset

    This option is expanded; the result must consist of a colon-separated
list
    of header names, not including the terminating colon, for example:

      headers_remove = return-receipt-to:acknowledge-to

    Any existing headers matching those names are not included in any
message
    ^^^
    ^^^
    that is transmitted by the transport. However, added headers may have
    these names. Thus it is possible to replace a header by specifying it in
    "headers_remove" and supplying the replacement in "headers_add". Headers
    to be removed can also be specified by routers. See chapter 14 and
section
    43.13.

OK, it's not entirely clear, but what it means is that if you specify
a name and there is more than one such header line, they all get
removed.
