I do not know if you can do that in a transport, but the dnslookup
router should be the right place for outgoing mail.

Now that we are talking of economy of means, wouldn't be a nice idea
if the list software used for the exim list removed all those
inessential Received headers?

Now you know it, I use "more" to read my email and these headers give
me an headache... seriously, even if I do not see the Received
headers, I do not see why we should all see all the steps that a
message to the list took, they could be left for the archival copy
kept at exim-colo-01.whoc.theplanet.co.uk (or whatever). And save a
lot of bandwidth, if not some irony.
