Out of curiosity, why does Exim's default behaviour (using a vanilla config file) accept a message without Date and Message-ID headers and relay it without adding them? Does adding "control = submission" have any other, possibly undesirable, effects? (As I understand RFC2822, these headers are not strictly obligatory, but Section 3.6.4 that 'Though optional, every message SHOULD have a "Message-ID:" field.' and the canonical examples in Appendix A all have Date and Message-ID headers. I think a reasonable definition of a "sensible message" would include both of these.) -- ## List details at http://www.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://www.exim.org/eximwiki/
