FQDN, in this case for a dynamically assigned address so not very useful
to anyone other than Verizon. Though they choose to provide a geographic
hint, and "fios", in the name.
So, while I could hide the hostname of my laptop, I wouldn't be
able to hide its "public"/ISP-assigned name (and IP address).
Right, as Tom noted:
Received: lines are generally added by each MTA that the message
passes through. In this case it was smtp.gmail.com that added that;
it's not under your control. You can probably modify the "Hikaru"
Not sure this is helpful, but for years I've hidden my actual host I send
mail from which is
unix.hobbeshollow.com
by putting the following entries in my mts.conf
localname: hobbeshollow.com
masquerade: draft_from mmailid username_extension
This allows me to send email as jerry@hobbeshollow.com.
hobbeshollow.com is my domain.
I pay a 3rd party to connect for my outbound mail from hobbeshollow.com
a nominal fee annually because ATT turned off that capability about 18
months ago.
