I don't know what information exchange leaks in the received header or if
any. I do know that using lookout with other MTAs can lead to local lan IP
information (even the netblock the local lan uses) and the client's hostname
if the server reports HELO information. I personally will not accept any
email if it does not have a message id header. I don't know which is worse,
netscape (Not sure about newer versions, but 4.x was like this) HELOing
using the user's email domain (common spammer trick) or outlook HELOing with
the PC's netbios name.
