The contents of the Received: header are set by the Exim option received_header_text. You can strip out the Exim and OS versions by setting it to

received_header_text = Received: \
  ${if def:sender_rcvhost {from $sender_rcvhost\n\t}\
  {${if def:sender_ident \
  {from ${quote_local_part:$sender_ident} }}\
  ${if def:sender_helo_name {(helo=$sender_helo_name)\n\t}}}}\
  by $primary_hostname \
  ${if def:received_protocol {with $received_protocol}} \
  ${if def:tls_cipher {($tls_cipher)\n\t}}\
  ${if def:sender_address \
  {(envelope-from <$sender_address>)\n\t}}\
  id $message_exim_id\
  ${if def:received_for {\n\tfor $received_for}}

I've copied the default value from the Exim 4.80 documentation, removing the line that inserts the version number.

  • thank you very much. But I'm wondering, which file is to be edited to make this effective could you please guide. – Nishan Mar 06 '14 at 11:25
  • It depends how Exim is installed on your system. I'm not familiar with FreeBSD, but try `/etc/exim.conf`, or a file in `/usr/local/etc/exim/configure`. Sorry I can't be of more help. – Flup Mar 06 '14 at 11:31
  • No need to sorry, thank you very much for your nice help -) I WILL manage somehow. – Nishan Mar 06 '14 at 11:35
