Thanks.
RFC 5322 says that a message ID must be globally unique. It's suggested to use your hostname as it is almost guaranteed to be unique. You're going to have to have something after the @ sign, so if you don't want to use your hostname, you're going to have to have something "fake." Here's a link to RFC 5322 so you can see what the requirements are for message IDs. You're really making it difficult on yourself to change this; consider how important it actually is. https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5322#section-3.6.4 Good luck! If it were me doing this, I'd do what they recommend on that Arch Linux forum post. That seems simple enough and keeps things compliant. -- Put your Nose to the Grindstone! -- Amalgamated Plastic Surgeons and Toolmakers, Ltd.
