Back in the good old "100% unix world" it was an identification, which
user was sending you an email and stored in the Received lines.
However, nowadays this information is neither in the mightest way
reliable nor helpful in most use cases. It only makes sense if
your main system you are relaying for is a unix box with many
!root-users.
