customizing RHS of Message-ID

customizing RHS of Message-ID

[Jason R. Mastaler]

I'd like to see a variable that we can set that overrides
`message-make-fqdn' in `message-make-message-id'.  This is so I can
set the RHS of the Message-ID to an arbitrary string.  If you're
familiar with qmail, this is analogous to setting the QMAILIDHOST
environment variable.
 
This is for use with various anti-spam heuristics.  A simple example
would be that if a message arrives with my special Message-ID   
contained in a 'References' or 'In-Reply-To' header, it's a legit
reply and can bypass my challenge/response system.  For this to work,
I need more flexibility than simply the FQDN of the machine I happen
to be using.

Would be useful, yes. Until available i use:

(eval-after-load "nnmail"
  '(defun nnmail-message-id ()
     (concat "<" (message-unique-id) "@ID-24456.user.dfncis.de>")))

(eval-after-load "message"
  '(defun message-make-message-id ()
     (concat "<" (message-unique-id) "@ID-24456.user.dfncis.de>")))

(add-to-list 'message-required-mail-headers 'Message-ID)
(add-to-list 'message-required-news-headers 'Message-ID)

Beste Grüße,
cu, -cc-

Maybe you should upgrade your Gnus.  `message-user-fqdn' was added on
2003-02-20:

,----[ C-h v message-user-fqdn RET ]
| message-user-fqdn's value is "marauder.physik.uni-ulm.de"
| 
| Documentation:
| *Domain part of Messsage-Ids.

| You can customize this variable.
