dovecot - Jan 2022 - feature-request: make received-header on submission optional or at least drop the ip in it

hi.

we're just trying to re-structure a system and want to use dovcots
submission-ability.
because the github-repository have no entry for any issues at all, we're
sending this feature-fequest to this ML.

unfortunately there doesn't seem to be any option to drop the
received-header at all or at least hide the IP of the user.

because the client-ip is covered by GDPR as personal data and so it
should never shown to others without a certain reason, we want to hide
it, but there's no "submission_add_received_header"-option like
for lmtp
and it doesn't seem to be any other option to hide this information.

maybe this is possible to implement in near future?

thanks a lot.

best regards

d.

Using your email system IS the reason, simply make sure that you inform 
customers why this is presented.  The world will thank you ;)

Sorry, but while an IP has been described as personal data in various 
privacy legislation, just like to stop the spreading of misinformation 
that you 'cannot' include that information.

You can include personal information, as long as the person is aware 
(SLA, Terms and Conditions etc) and it has a valid use, eg for security 
purposes.

Oh, but no flames please, this is almost getting off topic as it is.
