Hi Aaron,
There must be a way to solve this issue, however since I'm not a software
programmer and not a MySQL guru either, I can't come up with a working
solution but maybe I can suggest some ideas.

Isn't it possible to ad a configuration option to DBMail that will enable
you to insert a unique identifier in the message ID for each machine that
run's DBMail, let's say the first two or three digits of the message id,
this should resolve any issues with message id's even if you have duplicate
ID's the first digits will always differ cause they were received by a
different machine.
Maybe I'm completely wrong here, but this sounds like a sane solution to me.

Cheers and season's greetings,
Patrick de Ruiter
