Somewhat related comment. A friend of mine maintains several mail servers and was trying to find out why mail from a specific client was getting dropped/flagged as spam by his enhanced anti-spam changes. Turns out (and I haven't investigated this to confirm it) the client was using Outlook 2003. Apparently the latest version doesn't generate messageid headers which is and has been a core part of the internet email standard defined by RFC 2822 for years. I just did a quick search and came up with the following quote: "I've been having trouble getting e-mail messages to my weblog from Outlook 2003. I figured it was something stupid that Microsoft was doing, or not doing, that was causing the problem. Tonight I got Seth to look at a sample message. The reason my server keeps rejecting messages is it expects a Message-ID header and isn't finding one. Outlook 2003, it seems, isn't generating one. I can't say this shocked me. Message-ID headers have been part of the IETF's e-mail specification forever. Every other e-mail client on the planet generates a Message-ID header. The Message-ID header is used by filters like SpamAssassin and others to calculate the likelihood of a message being spam. And lastly, many servers (like mine) will just outright refuse to accept messages without a message-ID in the header." You can read more here: http://www.terryfrazier.com/fullThread$msgNum=1526 In any case, I had been looking at upgrading to Outlook 2003 primarily because of the removal of the 2GB pst size limit, but this put and indefinate brake on that. I was just searching to see if this has been fixed, but can't find any references that say so. So I will be staying away from Outlook 2003 for the forseeable future.
