GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 774855
Allow customization of Message-id
Last modified: 2016-12-08 19:36:25 UTC
Currently the Message-ID is always constructed from the hostname, for example Message-ID: <12345.78.90.camel@myhostname> This is a good way of generating probably unique IDs, but comes with two drawbacks: 1) Uniqueness: The hostnames may not be that unique after all, many people just call their computer after the brand, for example. 2) Privacy: The hostname may not be something users want to share with the whole world, as put nicely in this comment on serverfault: Because "hostname" is "ihateyouall" or "asskickr" whereas "domain.tld" is "jesus-loves-you.org" https://serverfault.com/questions/335988/is-it-possible-to-change-the-postfix-message-id#comment330986_335988 Thus, it would be nice to add an option, to put a custom fake domain into the Message-ID field (e.g. "jesus-loves-you.org") or just create that part randomly as well.
Thanks for a bug report. As you said "Currently", what does it mean in the sense of the evolution-data-server and the evolution version for you, please? I ask also because of bug #702703.
Hi, the version of evolution as given in the Info dialog, is 3.10.4. Also, this mail header seems relevant: X-Mailer: Evolution 3.10.4-0ubuntu2 Referring to bug #702703, if the comments there are correct, it should be fixed by now. I'm marking this as a duplicate. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 702703 ***
