How to remove or modify the X-mailer header for outbound emails?

Hi Everyone!


First-timer here so please pardon me if i miss any expected etiquette requirements smile


Currently, for emails that Pegasus Mail sends out, i noticed the raw headers of the received email has the field "X-mailer" which shows that the sender is using Pegasus Mail and the software version number.


In the interest of security and confidentiality, is there any way to remove or at least modify the abovementioned X-mailer field so anyone who intercepts the email in transit will not be able to see what the sender's email client software and/or version number is?


Modifying the pmail.ini file doesn't work, so hoping to find the answer here. Thanks in advance for any pointers you can give!
