Hi,

About the Message-ID header RFC2822 3.6.4 says that:

"...a good method is to put the domain name (or a domain
literal IP address) of the host on which the message identifier
was created on the right hand side of the "@", and put a
combination of the current absolute date and time along
with some other currently unique(perhaps sequential) identifier
available on the system (for example, a process id number) on
the left hand side."

My question is if we should reject messages that the Message-ID
is malformed and if Exim has the capability to verify the
Message-ID header syntax.
For example, it will be sufficient to reject a message if the
Message-ID has no hostname after '@' ?

Best regards,
Paulo Almeida
