Bug#927741: exim4-config: Please add headers_remove control in transport/30_exim4-config_remote_smtp

[Dean Hamstead]

Package: exim4-config
Version: 4.89-2+deb9u3
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

Would you be so kind as to add in to the transport/30_exim4-config_remote_smtp file, a control for 'headers_remove' for the remote_smtp transport.

In my case i use the following line added to this transport

  headers_remove =
  "X-SA-Do-Not-Run:X-SA-Exim-Scanned:X-SA-Exim-Mail-From:X-SA-Exim-Rcpt-To:X-SA-Exim-Connect-IP:X-PHP-Originating-Script"

It would be convenient to have this as a definable variable so that the
file can update without complaints
