You see the scheme? The Message-ID is generated from 'random-string.datetime@domain_of_e-mail-address' And that's one of the few ways this could be done. The requirement to a MID is: it must be unique. So if The Bat! would use a fixed, user independent, string instead of domain name the chances duplicate MIDs are generates would raise significantly. The RFCs describing e-mail-messages state the MID has to be build from a concrete scheme, which includes a FQDN (full qualified domain name) after the '@' to _avoid_ dups. So The Bat! is doing what it is requested and if you use a personal domain, instead of an ISP given, everybody will be able to do the WHOIS lookup just from 'From:' and he does not even need to look for the MID. If your concerns are only about the newly created MID when redirecting: 1.) Yes, I'd welcome it too, if The Bat! would handle a 'Redirect' like 'mutt' does handle a 'bounce', but that's something for v2 or later. 2.) What's your problem? One redirected message containing your domain, albeit you've already sent our hundreds or thousands of messages containing it in 'From:' _AND_ 'MID'? C'mon ... I just get even more out of this redirected message: your exact location (with a chance of 90% upwards). From 'Received:' header, on which The Bat! has _no_ influence. So please don't compare a domain name in a Mesasge-ID, present there because RFC enforces it, with the personal data MacroSoft-(I'm out of)-Words inserts into documents. Theres a _really huge_ difference between both :-) P.S.: How's the weather around Amsterdam? :-) -- Regards Peter Palmreuther (The Bat! v1.62/Beta4 on Windows 2000 5.0 Build 2195 Service Pack 2) The thought of suicide is a powerful solace: by means of it one gets through many a bad night. ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.61 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
