[Mailman-Developers] Stripping Received headers on anonymous lists

[Derek Balling]

[originally posted to -users, but I figured -developers is probably a 
better forum for it]

I mentioned this once before and the general response I got was "it 
uses them for loop detection, so it leaves them alone", but for 
anonymous lists (especially ones dealing with sensitive subjects) 
those received headers can easily give away the identity of the 
person sending the message, which is a Bad Thing.

The X-Been-There flag SHOULD be catching looping, so I'm not worried 
if this "loop detection of last resort" is removed.

This really (IMHO) should be there if we want to be able to consider 
anonymous lists anonymous. Right now, they're WORSE than anonymous 
because they give the ILLUSION of anonymity. :(

Any thoughts on how this could be done? I'm not a python guy by 
trade, so I'm sorta lost trying to find where the anonymization takes 
place to begin with. :)
