    Hi. I've been using sendmail for well over a decade, but am now making
    the transition to postfix. We're using postfix 2.1.5, and we're trying
    to modify what postfix writes in its Received: headers for outbound
    mail. Right now it's putting in the MTA version and Postfix user id,
    which is a bit more information than I care to reveal for outbound mail.
    We'd like to quiet that a bit so that it doesn't reveal the MTA in use,
    or its associated UID. In sendmail one would do a
    define('confRECEIVED_HEADER','string') but I can find no reference to
    this option in either the K. Dent postfix book, the main.cf.default, or
    any of the readmes.

    Here's what we have now in the chain:

    Received: from external-relay.mydomain.com (external-relay.mydomain.com
    [111.22.33.44])
            by internal-relay.mydomain.net (Postfix) with ESMTP id E52E31DE2
    Received: by external-relay.mydomain.com (Postfix)
            id DD5E7B7; Wed, 16 Feb 2005 18:31:41 -0500 (EST)
    Delivered-To:
    Received: by external-relay.mydomain.com (Postfix, from userid 6000)
            id D6A40C7; Wed, 16 Feb 2005 18:31:41 -0500 (EST)

    All I really want to get rid of is the MTA advertisement and the
    associated user ID. Is there an option to configure this? If so, what
    would it be?
