Postfix Add Header Question

[Marc Perkel <ma...@perkel.com>]

I know some of you out there use Postfix and I have a quick question 
that is a little off topic so I will apologize in advance and beg 
forgiveness.

I was just wondering how in Postfix that someone could add a header 
indicating the IP address of the connecting host. I'm asking for someone 
I'm working with and I'm an Exim guy and this is trivial in Exim.

Thanks in advance.

The IP-address is there in the Received:-header.

# main.cf
smtpd_data_restrictions =
  check_client_access regexp:/etc/postfix/client_ip_header

# client_ip_header
/([.0-9]+)/  PREPEND X-Client-IP: $1


Note: this requires postfix 2.1 or newer.

I'm looking for a custom header uther than the received line because the 
one I'm looking for is buried layers deep.
