<b>NAME</b><br>
XTrackHeader - slow.conf configuration item
<p>
<b>SYNOPSIS</b><br>
<code><ul>
XTrackHeader = X-header-name
</ul></code>
<p>
<b>DESCRIPTION</b><br>
The XTrackHeader slow.conf configuration item allows
a header to be inserted into each message to show that
it was already screened by <b>slowmilt</b>. This item
defines the name part of the header (the part to the
left of the colon).
<code><ul>
XTrackHeader = X-slowmilt-reviewed
</code></ul>
The name given must not end in a colon.
<p>
The default if this XTrackHeader item is omitted is to
not insert a header. If XTrackHeader defines a header
name, <b>slowmilt</b> will insert that header if it is
not already found, and give it a value that is the IP 
number that was recorded:
<code><ul>
X-slowmilt-reviewed: 123.45.67.89
</code></ul>
When a later run of <b>slowmilt</b> finds this header,
it accepts the message without further review, because
it was already recorded once. Note that <b>slowmilt</b>
does not validate the record, it blindly trusts it,
after all this is mainly a mechanism to communicate
between a host and its MX servers.
