As the IP address will anyway be inserted by the mail server (and can't be faked) it's nonsensical to fake the hostname. Anyway, in KDE 3.1 you will be able to define the hostname which should be sent to the server. I guess that's what you wanted. > > Ad 2: The timezone field in the Date: header is a > > must.

Because we have the obligation to produce messages which comply to the RFCs. If you want to you can most likely overwrite the Date: header with a custom header (like the X-Mailer header). I didn't try it but it should work.
