Message-ID and IP problem

Dear, I have problem with Message-ID header information and informations that is in touch with my server IP. I want some ways to hide my server IP information to prevent black listing or junking.

First, I do not want that my message have any human visible header information that is in touching with my domain from which I send emails.
I had use smtp server on other computer (not on my hosting).
My domain is 'domain.com'. In a header I have something which is in touch with my domain:
Message-ID: <20071110132315.3065.610212812.swift@domain.com>

Second, I think that is a problem also that in the message is IP of my server. I do not know hom much it is a problem for junk email control in a google or thunderbird program, because it is not on the first place in the headers:

id 1IqqIt-0007RC-Vu
for gas@p3tt.yu; Sat, 10 Nov 2007 14:23:17 +0100

Can I can avoid that all?

The answer is no.

I can see no reason for hiding originating IP addresses, other than to send spam. There's a reason source addresses appear in message headers and that's so the email can be traced. Any server which does not provide that information is breaking some extremely fundamental specifications.
