Codeigniter Email Headers

Question

Hi I got this email headers when testing emails using codeigniter. I use the mail function for sending emails like registration and password resets. The thing is it displays server paths which may compromise my server.

How can I remove these headers in the email?

X-AntiAbuse:     This header was added to track abuse, please include it with any abuse report
X-AntiAbuse:     Primary Hostname - example.example.com
X-AntiAbuse:     Original Domain - yahoo.com
X-AntiAbuse:     Originator/Caller UID/GID - [666 32003] / [47 12]
X-AntiAbuse:     Sender Address Domain - example.com
X-Source:       /usr/bin/php
X-Source-Args:   /usr/bin/php /home/public_html/codeigniter_path/index.php
X-Source-Dir:    domain.com:/public_html/codeigniter_path

I have 100% solution for disable X-AntiAbuse and X-Get-Message-Sender .

Step 1: Login as ROOT with PuTTY

Step 2: type nano /etc/exim.pl.local

Step 3: Press Enter, After open exim.pl.local file. Click CTRL+W for search.

Step 4: Type "Abuse" and press enter to search.

Step 5: Then you can see X-AntiAbuse Headers like below..

Step 6: Just add a line above "my $headers = " like bellow and change old "my $headers = .." to "my $headers_clear = .."

Change and Add like below

my $headers = "";

my $headers_clear =

Step 7: After done, above like, Press CTRL+X for save and Press "Y" for Confirm after finally press "Enter" for Save and Exit.

I'd be confident in saying this is nothing to do with CodeIgniter.

Your hosts look like they are modifying all outgoing mail with extra headers to try and stop their servers getting blacklisted by spammers, or to try and reduce the chances of your emails being marked as spam.

Either way their solution is invasive and a bit weird but not insecure. If it bugs you then I'd change to using an external SMTP provider like Google, or just get a better host.
