Rob, my $0.02: There is value in security through obscurity as part of an
overall security plan.  Your statement is like saying Fort Knox is so secure
we shouldn't protect the blueprints to the building.

However, more to the point, Dirk: What is your end-goal in modifying the
headers because it's a setup for a nightmare in debugging a lost email.  The
strength of email and sendmail especially is the culpability and tracking.
You will be removing a cornerstone of that culpability.
