The default received header text is:
received_header_text = Received: \
${if def:sender_rcvhost {from $sender_rcvhost\n\t}\
{${if def:sender_ident {from $sender_ident }}\
${if def:sender_helo_name {(helo=$sender_helo_name)\n\t}}}}\
by $primary_hostname \
${if def:received_protocol {with $received_protocol}} \
${if def:tls_cipher {($tls_cipher)\n\t}}\
(Exim $version_number)\n\t\
id $message_id\
${if def:received_for {\n\tfor $received_for}}
...why not just change it to
received_header_text = X-Received: \
${if def:sender_rcvhost {from $sender_rcvhost\n\t}\
{${if def:sender_ident {from $sender_ident }}\
... etc
It's not perfect, but an "X-Received" header is (human-wise) just as
readable, and should be skipped by anything looking for a
"Received" header. It's nice and simple, too.
Assuming Exim doesn't care that the header name has changed.
