Bug#421459: balsa: Unsafe Message-ID with hostname, without FQDN

[Hans-Joachim Zierke <Usenetspam010 Zierke com>]

Package: balsa
Version: 2.3.13-2
Severity: normal


Balsa does not use the FQDN for Message-IDs, which means no guarantee, that
an ID exists only once.

I have checked, wether there is any problem on the system (freshly installed
Debian Etch Stable), which could cause this behaviour,

#v+
hajo Odysseus:~$ hostname
Odysseus
hajo Odysseus:~$ hostname -d
Zierke.com
hajo Odysseus:~$ hostname -f
Odysseus.Zierke.com
hajo Odysseus:~$ dnsdomainname
Zierke.com
hajo Odysseus:~$ cat /etc/mailname
Zierke.com
#v-

but don't find anything.



There isn't any problem with mail sending and receiving.


Ciao
Hans-Joachim

P.S.: MTA is sendmail.
