I don't think anybody desires that. We *want* to know from
who the message comes; obviously the CCAT server replayed it!
From, To, Date, and Subject are usually the only headers
displayed, when an Email client is set to suppress the more
technical headers (as almost all clients are configured).
Filter on To, Sender, Reply-To, or Return-Path.

If the message arrives via CCAT, it comes from a list member.
This is a closed list. If there isn't an attachment, what do
you have to fear?
