Clarification: 1. Received headers and the IP addresses therein are currently valuable for filtering today, for me, for others, and as I've observed for others as big as AOL. 2. When I say "I do want it," I mean I think it would be a great loss to lose the current information (IP address and/or received headers) valuable for filtering purposes today under existing use cases. I want received headers and IP address source information to remain in email headers. 3. Your concern about your sending reputation being commingled with your cats is already the way the world works today if your mail streams are commingled. This is not a new problem and the proposed potential solution of redacting IP addresses or removing received headers takes data way instead of adding more data for filtering purposes. It's sort of cutting off a leg because we don't like how the arm works. Too much of spam filtering and reputation today is still IP address-based to throw out that identifier today. Like Chris said, the machine learning out there now almost always uses that identifier as an input today.
