message id

[joearch]

If i sent mails from my scalix-webmail the message-ids looks like this:
Message-ID: <16075230.1107518263839.JavaMail.root@mailix>
Where can I change the "mailix"string (my servername) into my domainname?

Thanx, Jörg

[ScalixSupport]

When you run the command "hostname", does it return the fully-qualified name ?

Are you using DNS ? If not, check /etc/hosts to see if you have specified the fully qualified name.

Cheers

Dave.

"hostname" return mailix
"hostname -f" return mailix.mydomain.de

Yes, I'm using DNS.

Is it a sendmail or a scalix configuration-problem ?

Thanx, Jörg

[ScalixSupport]

As far as I know, it isn't either.

If you have python installed, you can run this simple script:

Code: Select all

import email.Utils
print email.Utils.make_msgid()


This will show you what a basic message ID will look like.

Are you using a RedHat or SuSE version of Linux ?

Cheers

The scripts returns: <20050207084353.9650.31660@mailix.mydomain.de>

I´m using SuSe Linux Enterprise Server 9

--> from webmail the message-id is wrong. it seems to be a scalix-configuration problem...

[ScalixSupport]

This is actually a JavaMail issue. I'm trying to track down (with the aid of Google) how JavaMail constructs its message ids.

Cheers

Dave

[ScalixSupport]

For the JavaMail message ID, the local host name is retrieved. I have tested this under SuSE, RHEL3 and FC3 and only SuSE returns the host part rather than the fully-qualified host name.

If there is some way you can make the hostname fully-qualified without having to specify the -f switch, this will resolve your question.

Otherwise, there is no way to affect the generation of the message ID through a parameter or configuration option.

Cheers

Dave.
