Received header information

When going through the SMTP proxy on Astaro, in our outgoing emails a received header entry is added when it gets them from our mail server which is in our LAN.

Received: from mail.domain.int ([192.168.1.47] helo=mail.domain.com)
by astarobox with smtp (Exim 4.43)

Is there a way for the Astaro to:
1) Not put the IP address in the received entry?

2) Show the mail server name by its' external (mail.domain.com) as opposed to its' internal (mail.domain.int)?

This is a windows network.

Any takers on how I might fix these things?

Exim, the SMTP software included with ASG is a mail router, and like any proper mail transfer agent (MTA), it will add its own lines to to the mail header of all mail items going through it. All MTAs do this, and it is a good aid in debugging and/or tracing the path of mail transfers. Disabling a MTA from inserting its transfer status lines in the header (if at all possible), would prevent this.

My recommendation is to leave it alone.

I dont think removing those header lines is possible at all - as far as I know this is described in the RFCs for SMTP.
But I dont actually see the need for removing those lines - any special reasons I may not be able to see?
