FQDN, in this case for a dynamically assigned address so not very useful to 
anyone other than Verizon.  Though they choose to provide a geographic hint, 
and "fios", in the name.

Right, as Tom noted:

    Received: lines are generally added by each MTA that the message
    passes through.  In this case it was smtp.gmail.com that added that;
    it's not under your control.  You can probably modify the "Hikaru"
