This isn't very important, but has me baffled! I am using exim-4.14 with the
default setting for received_header_text and I can't understand how it is generating
the Received header text I actually see in messages.
(I have checked the default value for received_header_text in the 4.14 code and it
corresponds to that shown in the 4.10 spec.)
First I see lines such as:
Received: from dp.samba.org ([166.70.73.150] helo=lists.samba.org)
by hermes.ex.ac.uk with ...
(My system being hermes.ex.ac.uk of course.) How does the "[166.70.73.150] " get in
there before the "helo=" because the relevant bit of the default seems to be just
"(helo=$sender_helo_name)\n\t"?
Second, I see lines such as:
Received: from cheviot3.ncl.ac.uk ([128.240.233.177] ident=root)
by hermes.ex.ac.uk with ...
In this case the default does not contain anything to do with "ident=" in it at all!
I can see nothing in the spec for $sender_helo_name or $sender_ident to explain
this, so any pointers would be of interest.
