Occasional RFC-2822 non-conformant Message-Id header from Outlook

G

Giampaolo

When configured to directly sent SMTP mail, Outlook 2007 (12.0.6212.1000) SP1
MSO (12.0.6213.1000) may occasionally produce a Message-Id header which is
invalid with respect to the format dictated by RFC-2822.

It is not clear to me the why and how, but this regularly happens with two
of the nine e-mail accounts I configured in my copy of Outlook.

The non-conformant headers look like this:

Message-ID: <000601c87016$a442ece0$ecc8c6a0$@[email protected]>

See? There are two '@' characters in its value, while RFC-2822 states there
should be only one.

Accounts not showing this problem contain an header like this:

Message-ID: <000501c87016$6d6339f0$4829add0$@it>

See? Only the TLD is reported in the <domain-part> of Message-ID.
