I'm assuming you realise that nobody is arguing that all
received header fields be stripped?
The problem I've run into is generally machine [~auto]
submitted email, where the network itself is "sensitive"
(let's pretend it's a big bank), and the administrators don't
...
If there's a problem with the mail, the big bank can track
down what happened easily enough, and you can point your
finger at the correct big bank.
As I pointed out earlier, this is precisely the case for which
there is language in the message submission spec. It has
nothing to do with SMTP across the network.
