Question Remove certain headers using mailx or sendmail
Hello,

So i want to send mails in any way from a solaris 5.8 system, perhaps using mailx or sendmail. My purpose is to stay clear of systems name in head data. So i want to strip at least the "Message-Id" and the "Recieved" headers of the mail. Yet this seems to be a bit of a problem.

Now i have seen mails earlier with no headers at all (besides subject), this could also be an option, just to remove all headers. Can anyone help me out?


(this is not intended for spamming purposes, my firm wants to mailout a bunch of mails each day automatically, to our customers, direct from core production enviroment, yet we dont want to reveal core system server name, eventhough its protected by firewalls etc.)

thanks...but...
hey there,

thanks, but the problem was solved more than a year ago. Besides, i cant see how SED can strip headers from an email before its send, or while sending.

Anyhow, dont bother to reply again, case closed and i indeed forgot about this thread and the issue back then Smilie


regards
congo
