I definitely don't want nmh generating Message-ID unless I ask it to do so as my MTA is already correctly configured. The MTA that I use, qmail, does not use the hostname, it uses one of 2 configuration files... /var/qmail/control/me by default unless /var/qmail/control/idhost exists in which case it uses that. However, that only allows me to customize the right-side of the Message-ID. The left-side is predetermined and uses basically what the RFC recommends (a timestamp and a PID). Andy
