Author Outgoing headers

On our server, outgoing messages from the MS SMTP service have the following
line in the header:
"Received: from unknown (HELO mail.mydomain.com) (0.0.0.0)"

How can I change the value "unknown" to something meaningful? I have
searched for this on google, but due to the nature of the query, the search
results are a load of spam reports!

Cheers

Is the IP actually listed as 0.0.0.0? Also do you have a reverse DNS record
for your servers IP address (a PTR record). The remote server may need this
to map the IP your connecting with back to a host name. If your not sure you
can check with your DNS provider for your public namespace or go to
www.codeflux.com (just one of many putlic tools you can use) and query for
a PTR record for your IP address.

Hi, I was looking for a way to do something like this. I needed to remove all header information, as some other products do. Do you have any idea how to do this.

Thanks
