Possible security issue using mail() - X-Host info

Hi,

 

I am sending users an HTML email using the mail() function but when looking at the source of the email, there is some worrying looking info on display:

X-Host-Account: abcdef
X-Host-Domain: my-domain.me.uk
X-Host-Script: /domains/j/a/my-domain.me.uk/public_html/blog/index.php
X-Host-Server: xx.xxx.xxx.xx
X-Host-Client: yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy

 

I'm concerned that there is information here that would greatly help a hacker gain access to my hosting info, specifically the hosting account user name, absolute file path and server IP address.

 

Is this normal? Is it an issue? Can I hide or change using headers or is there something my hosting company can change to hide this info?

 

Many thanks.
