Received: by [notmydropletip] with SMTP id xxxxxx
X-Received: by [notmydropletip] with SMTP id xxxxxx
Return-Path:
Received-SPF: neutral ...
Authentication-Results: mx.google.com...
Received: from localhost ([xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx]) by mx.google.com with ESMTPSA id xxxxxx

I don't think there is any way to hide it since Gmail passes it over. You can try using a SMTP service such as mandrillapp.com (edit msmtp's config to match your mandrill account's SMTP credentials).

I wonder if this issue is tangentially-related (i.e. the /etc/hosts file) to the problem being addressed, here: Email sent to gmail is flagged as spam?
