For this, you should upgrade ASPMail to the latest version (or ask them
what the good reason is for not having the Message-ID: header).

Do you realize that all the servers using WTMail are sending mail that many
mail clients will "hide" at the bottom of the inbox, because of the invalid
time zone? And that other mailservers may just delete the E-mail, because
it is broken?
A few years ago, sending broken E-mail was OK. However, given the amount
of spam that exists today, sending broken E-mail is no longer acceptable.
>And with Aspmail, there is no Message-ID ;-(
Note that there is a "LOOSENSPAMHEADERS ON" option you can use to get the
SPAMHEADERS test not to check for the Message-ID: header. However, this
will only prevent the E-mail from failing the test on your server, not
other servers. :)

>I feel a bit strange about this idea.
Whitelisting your webservers will make it look like the problem is fixed on
your end, but if the mail gets sent out to other servers (and isn't just
internal mail), then the mail may still get caught on other systems.
Note that a *lot* of mail generated by webservers fails the SPAMHEADERS
test (whereas almost no mail from mail clients will fail the test).
