This feature is available with Artica version 1.4.101601

If you are under this release you need to upgrade your Artica version.
If this version is not released use the How to upgrade Artica to a nightly build ?

it remove hostnames and IP addresses of your internal systems from the messages headers before they go out to other users for security purpose.

In a standard way each mail service add it's own hostname and IP address that helps trace the SMTP routing processes.

for example you should see this kind of entries in each mail header :

Received: from moutng.kundenserver.de (moutng.kundenserver.de
 [212.227.17.10]) by mx.kundenserver.de (node=mxeu0) with ESMTP
