It’s matching the string I want to replace. In the example below, the bit I don’t want to be seen is “some-machine ([172.16.28.16])”, provided it’s been received by mail.example.com:

Received: from some-machine ([172.16.28.16]) by mail.example.com ; Tue, 8 Jun 2010 11:49:22 +0100

So the regex:

myRegExp.Pattern = “\bfrom[\-\sA-Za-z0-9\.\]\[\(\)]*by mail.example.com\b”

…will match on everything from the word “from” up to and including “mail.example.com” (clearly you’d need to change the regex to include your mailserver’s real name rather than mail.example.com.)

Provided the regex matches, the call to .Replace() will swap the mached text for something more benign, leaving you with a much more palatable Received: header, as below:

Received: from mailclient by mail.example.com ; Tue, 8 Jun 2010 11:49:22 +0100

Thanks!

No, I’m afraid not. Best place to ask might be on the hMail forums: http://www.hmailserver.com/forum/

The script doesn’t actually alter any of the IP addresses used in handling the message, it just masks information in Received: headers.

That said, there’s no reason why you couldn’t alter the script to make use of some kind of counter (stored in a file? or the registry? I don’t know if hMail scripts have the concept of a global variable…?). When the counter ticks past certain values, you could change what the call to myRegExp.Replace() does to alter the string inserted into the Received: header.

Why might you want to do this?
