messages forwarded to Gmail should contain X-Forwarded-For: or X-Forwarded-To:
headers.
What is the best way to add them?
My problem is that I'm aware a message is forwarded only at the routers level
(the final destination e-address is taken from /etc/aliases or ~/.forward)
and :at_start: option does not seems to work in transports:
the directive
headers_add = :at_start:X-Forwarded-For: $acl_m_For
adds the header in the main block and not in the beginning, which makes it
useless.
The second page you refer to does not specify a position a position in
the headers where an X-Forwarded-For: header should be added.
Your term "in the main block" is not common usage, so I am uncertain as to your
thinking.
Do you have specific reason to think that the position that Exim's transports
place a header when specified by a transport or router option (not "directive")
is not useful?
Also, "X-" things are deprecated these days. By the IETF.
