Hi

When I sent emails through PMG, I see 'localhost' and '127.0.0.1' in the headers. Any idea where they come from?

Code:
ARC-Authentication-Results: i=1; mx.google.com;
       spf=pass (google.com: domain of dashboard@mydomain.com designates 154.42.x.x as permitted sender) smtp.mailfrom=dashboard@mydomain.com
Return-Path: <dashboard@mydomain.com>
Received: from pmg01.mydomain.com (pmg01.mydomain.com. [154.42.x.x])
        by mx.google.com with ESMTPS id r6si759480eda.197.2019.07.09.22.33.46
        for <xx@xx.com
        (version=TLS1_2 cipher=ECDHE-RSA-CHACHA20-POLY1305 bits=256/256);

Thanks
 
maybe because PMG is running the pmg-smtp-filter post queue, so all mails are directed through this filter by PMG. In other words, mail go this way: outside - PMG than PMG 127.0.0.1 loop for content scan than PMG to destination host
