Thanks for the info Hugo.

I investigated further more. Hotmail is not involved in my testing, but
The X-OriginalArrivalTime comes from my Exchange Server. If I hold the
message on Postfix (I simply mispelled the transport map, causing
Postfix
to retry) the headers are ok, and the X-OriginalArrivalTime is not
present.
As soon as I unhold it and deliver through Exchange, the header becomes
corrupted (the X-OriginalArrivalTime appears).
I think you found topics related to Hotmail because Hotmail is Microsoft
and, for sure, runs on Exchange servers.
I'll post on Exchange forum.

Thanks again.

Massimo.
