GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 587257
Fails to cross-post NNTP properly, violates RFC3977
Last modified: 2021-05-19 11:03:38 UTC
Forwarding this from a Fedora bug: http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=491096 When cross-posting to multiple news groups, Evolution seems to be submitting _multiple_ messages with the same Message-Id: header, each to only one group. These seem to get eaten by the news server, not entirely surprisingly. RFC3977 says that Message-ID MUST be unique. Compare Evolution's attempt at cross-posting: http://david.woodhou.se/postdump.cap With Pine: http://david.woodhou.se/post-dump-3.cap The important part being that Evolution does this... post 340 340 <49c24468$0$513$5a6aecb4@news.aaisp.net.uk> (desired) Newsgroups: uk.net.providers.aaisp Subject: News cross-posts silently discarded? ... post 340 340 <49c24468$1$513$5a6aecb4@news.aaisp.net.uk> (desired) Newsgroups: uk.test Subject: News cross-posts silently discarded? While Pine does it in one go: POST 340 340 <49c246b4$0$511$5a6aecb4@news.aaisp.net.uk> (desired) Path: macbook.infradead.org!dwmw2 Newsgroups: uk.test,uk.net.providers.aaisp Date: Thu, 19 Mar 2009 13:20:47 +0000 From: David Woodhouse <dwmw2@macbook.infradead.org> Subject: Cross-posting, again.
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org. As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately quite limited so not every ticket can get handled). If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent and supported software version, then please follow https://wiki.gnome.org/Community/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines and create a new ticket at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evolution-data-server/-/issues/ Thank you for your understanding and your help.
