I've yet to see a non-spam message with it. I fgreped our quite big spool, - it is quite usual for clients with windows mailers to have this X-UIDL header attached to their mails. Correct, pop/imap servers add this, and yes, they can be recompiled not to do this. Unfortunately, it's quite hard to dig out the nessecity of this header, but still, I doubt if it's correct to trash such mails, - you risk to loose half of your windows-based folk's mails. I tryed to correlate fgrep 'X-UIDL' results with the 'X-Mailer' fgrep results - it's the only what fits - almost 90% of mails issued on _any_ type of windows have those X-UIDL. Still, I am stuck with the following now, the scheme of mails passing: <client/windows> - <smtp> - <sendmail&&procmail> <-- NO pop or imap servers here, and still those mails have X-UIDL. > Ollivier ROBERT -=- FreeBSD: There are no limits -=- roberto@keltia.freenix.fr -mishania
