I've run a test to show the Message ID/SunOS conflict. I hope this is of some
help.
The test scenario --
o telnet'ed to the mail servers - one SunOS 4.1.4 and one Solaris 2.5.1
(both servers are running Exim 2.03)
o no changes were made to message_id_header_text
o entered the following as my half of the SMTP conversation:
helo efn.org
mail from: <zilbauer@???>
rcpt to: <zilbauer@???>
data
To: zilbauer@???
From: zilbauer@???
Subject: This a test of the NULL message ID
Message body
.
The results --
o Both servers ended the SMTP conversation with the appropriate Message ID
(e.g., "250 OK id=0zJj0U-0002v2-00")
o On the Solaris server the resulting headers were fine:
Received: from garcia.efn.org
([198.68.17.5] helo=efn.org ident=zilbauer)
by mail.europa.com with smtp (Exim 2.03 #1)
id 0zJjSz-0004wg-00
for zilbauer@???; Thu, 17 Sep 1998 12:11:49 -0700
Message-id: <E0zJjSz-0004wg-00@???>
o On the SunOS server the message ID was set to NULL:
Received: from garcia.efn.org
([198.68.17.5] helo=efn.org ident=zilbauer)
by mail.europa.com with smtp (Exim 2.03 #1)
id 0zJj0U-0002v2-00
for zilbauer@???; Thu, 17 Sep 1998 11:42:39 -0700
Message-id: <NULL@???>
Thanks for the help. If I can be of further assistance, please let me know.
