Subject: [exim] missing message id in email converted to user in virtual users
Hi,



I am having some issues for an email that has been redirected to a different user and domain in virtual users. The divert is to a sympa server behind a remote postfix server. The original address is to hostmaster@??? <mailto:hostmaster@billybob.com> which is a domain in local_domains. The hostmaster local element is then converted to sherriff@??? <mailto:sherriff@boandluke.org> , which is the email address for the sympa list. The email is not delivered to the sympa list because the sympa report that it cannot deliver to the list as the message-id is blank, which on inspection, it is.

On the postfix server I see the received email as below:

Aug 11 06:49:27 prod-lists02 postfix/smtpd[66596]: AAE7E80122: client=mail.billybob.com[2001:897:X::11f]

Aug 11 06:49:27 prod-lists02 postfix/cleanup[65922]: AAE7E80122: message-id=<>

Aug 11 06:49:27 prod-lists02 postfix/qmgr[1813]: AAE7E80122: from=no_reply_support@???, size=7239, nrcpt=1 (queue active)

Aug 11 06:49:28 prod-lists02 postfix/pipe[66821]: AAE7E80122: to=sherriff@??? <mailto:sherriff@boandluke.org> , relay=sympa, delay=1, delays=0.02/0.01/0/1, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (delivered via sympa service)

Aug 11 06:49:28 prod-lists02 postfix/qmgr[1813]: AAE7E80122: removed



And that has the effect of the following on the sympa list server:



Aug 11 06:49:32 prod-lists02 sympa_msg[19699]: err main::#243 > Sympa::Spindle::spin#83 > Sympa::Spindle::ProcessIncoming::_twist#108 Message Sympa::Message <mailto:aarc-pmt@lists.geant.org.1628664567.66822> sherriff@???.1628664567.66822 has no message ID



I am not sure why there is no message-id passed to postfix when there is one recorded in the exim log, i.e. id=1mDi3K-0005a1-RG



Looking for clues for answers.



Kind regards,
