It seems to me that the easier solution is for the GWIA to do a more adequate job of \
scanning for tags. 

If I could get the vendor to remove those particular extra lines, then it just \
becomes an arms race to add extra header text to fool the GWIA's configuration. 

Must I make this editing request of every vendor I use for spam scanning?

Why not ask your anti-spam vendor to remove all those lines?  Seems like you
would want to specify if there is a device you trust xHeader tags from and
if not remove all of them.
