Greetings,
All email sent from outlook are now rejected by the domain of one of my
correspondents. They had recently upgraded their anti-spam filter to check
that the message ID of incoming emails is valid. Here is the rule that
outlook, as set up on my computers, violates:
=================================
533 5.7.1 Illegal Message-ID
RFC 2822 requires each mail to have a unique Message-ID. Your mail had a
message-ID ending in "@localhost" or "@localhost.localdomain". So there is
no guarantee it is unique. Hence your mail was rejected.
Remedy: Configure your mail software and/or your host/mailserver correctly
so your Message-ID ends in your fully qualified domain name.
=================================
the message ID that outlook generates does indeed end in "@com" and so
violates this rule, which is said to be an internet standard.
How can I change the domain name so that it has a proper domain name
rather than just "com"? Is this controlled by outlook? I am send/receiving
by SMTP/pop3, with the outgoing SMTP host being IIS on Windows 2003 server.
thanks!
Gary
