Sorry if I'm stating the obvious here -- or even more so if I'm dead
wrong -- but your ColdFusion mailing application(s) is/are generated
malformed e-mail headers, i.e., not RFC-2821-compliant (please see
http://www.isi.edu/in-notes/rfc2821.txt.) This is likely why they are caught
and flagged by Declude.

The part where you state:

> We prefer not to have the private IP exposed and it is misleading anyway.

is rather baffling to me. I assumed that what you mean by "private IP" is
one of those covered in RFC 1918 (Cf.
http://www.isi.edu/in-notes/rfc1918.txt) and these addresses are non
routable. There are *many* servers using them behind a firewall for NAT'ing
and yours is/are very likely to be also used by many other networks.
"Exposing" it in e-mail headers should not be cause for concern as no-one
outside your firewall will be able to send anything directly to your
"private" IP(s).

If I am in error with any of the above, someone else on this list will
quickly rectify the facts (and set me straight!),

Guy
