Hmmm. To cite myself, my response was:

And actually had this changed locally, but forgot about it due to the most
recent exiscan upgrade. Let me remind you that I've got no response, so I
figured that it was not *that* important.

May I humbly ask again what Outlook does with the Received headers, and
what does not work as expected? If you are really interested in fixing
this issue, that shouldn't be a question too difficult to answer.
