That sounds a good move, and hopefully would be acceptable to those who want to always see the Message-Id (whether received or generated) as well as those who aren't that interested in the value of a generated id but instead just knowing whether an incoming message had one or not. > Also, should it tagged in some different way, > to differentiate it from an id received with the message > (which could have been generated by some other Exim instance)? > On 13 June 2016 at 21:50, Heiko Schlittermann <[email protected]> wrote: > > … id=<generated id> # logged as always, because it *is* a message id > fixed=id,sender,date # logged if +fixes is active > or > id*=<generated id> # marks the id as a fixed one The idea of introducing a "fixed=" item, presumably showing only those items that were actually fixed up by this Exim, is interesting. This could then not only highlight clients that don't generate Message-ID headers, but also ones that don't supply a Date header, etc. Might be useful in detecting issues with client software that could be fixed/improved?
