.cindex "&'From:'& header line"
.cindex "&'Sender:'& header line"
+.cindex "header lines" "From:"
+.cindex "header lines" "Sender:"
For a trusted user, there is never any check on the contents of the &'From:'&
header line, and a &'Sender:'& line is never added. Furthermore, any existing
&'Sender:'& line in incoming local (non-TCP/IP) messages is not removed.
.section "Resent- header lines" "SECID220"
.cindex "&%Resent-%& header lines"
+.cindex "header lines" "Resent-"
RFC 2822 makes provision for sets of header lines starting with the string
&`Resent-`& to be added to a message when it is resent by the original
recipient to somebody else. These headers are &'Resent-Date:'&,
.section "The Date: header line" "SECID223"
.cindex "&'Date:'& header line"
+.cindex "header lines" "Date:"
If a locally-generated or submission-mode message has no &'Date:'& header line,
Exim adds one, using the current date and time, unless the
&%suppress_local_fixups%& control has been specified.

.cindex "&'Envelope-to:'& header line"
+.cindex "header lines" "Envelope-to:"

Exim can be configured to add them to the final delivery of messages. (See the

+.cindex "header lines" "Received:"
A &'Received:'& header line is added at the start of every message. The
contents are defined by the &%received_header_text%& configuration option, and
Exim automatically adds a semicolon and a timestamp to the configured string.
.section "The References: header line" "SECID228"
.cindex "&'References:'& header line"
+.cindex "header lines" "References:"
Messages created by the &(autoreply)& transport include a &'References:'&

For a locally-originated message from an untrusted user, Exim may remove an
existing &'Sender:'& header line, and it may add a new one. You can modify
these actions by setting the &%local_sender_retain%& option true, the
