[Mimedefang] Missing Received headers

   I'm running Solaris 8, with MIMEDefang 2.37, Spamassassin 2.55 and
Clamav 0.60.  My system is set up as an MX host for another system
(Linux).  Messages arriving on the Solaris are scanned, and if a virus is
found the message is quarantined and the administrator (me) is notified.

   I've found that messages with a local recipient have their entire
header list included in the notification message, as I would expect.
But, messages destined for the Linux system have all the "Received"
headers stripped, so it's impossible to determine their origin.  Any ideas
on why this is happening?

   I'm including an example of each set of headers (complete and headers
missing).
