X-Received: by [notmydropletip] with SMTP id xxxxxx
Return-Path:

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?
