I know this might be simplistic, and I cannot get it to work, but the Defaults.py say the following:

# These variables controls how headers must be cleansed in order to be # accepted by your NNTP server. Some servers like INN reject messages # containing prohibited headers, or duplicate headers. The NNTP server may # reject the message for other reasons, but there's little that can be # programmatically done about that. See Mailman/Queue/NewsRunner.py # # First, these headers (case ignored) are removed from the original message. NNTP_REMOVE_HEADERS = ['nntp-posting-host', 'nntp-posting-date', 'x- trace', 'x-complaints-to', 'xref', 'date-received', 'posted', 'posting-version', 'relay-version', 'received']

# Next, these headers are left alone, unless there are duplicates in the # original message. Any second and subsequent headers are rewritten to the # second named header (case preserved). NNTP_REWRITE_DUPLICATE_HEADERS = [ ('to', 'X-Original-To'), ('cc', 'X-Original-Cc'), ('content-transfer-encoding', 'X-Original-Content-Transfer-Encoding'), ('mime-version', 'X-MIME-Version'), ]

I was trying to use it to remove X-Mailer and X-Url codes, but as I read it this should also remove the original received header - which would be great for announce only lists. Since my IP is in the header my attacks on my personal machine get out of hand by pop-up spammers.

Thanks.
