Uhoh. I'm gonna be shown to be ignorant about something on the 'net.

These are not showing up in the archives, so I don't think they are in
the original messages. This means that either your IPS or your email
client is adding them at some point.

Although this clearly looks like a method of doing filtering, I can't
find any reference to software that adds this header. This might mean
it's home grown by BGA. *shudder*

Sorry I can't be more helpful. Hopefully someone else can.

In Service,
