Back in August of last year, Devin Carraway posted this:
http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.qpsmtpd/2012/08/msg9954.html
And a very short discussion ensued.
I have applied a modified portion of that patch to qpsmtpd-dev. After the
patch, the # enclosed area in the following header is removed:
Received: from c-76-121-98-64.hsd1.wa.comcast.net (HELO [10.0.1.125])
(76.121.98.64)
### (smtp-auth username [email protected], mechanism plain) ###
by mail.theartfarm.com (qpsmtpd/0.92) with (AES128-SHA encrypted)

While many mailing list to www gateways redacting email addresses in headers,
many do not. It just seems imprudent to be publishing that data into the
headers, as well as having logged it.
