Package: amavisd-new
Version: 20030616p10-5
Severity: normal
Today I noticed that two of the mails sent to postmaster about viruses
had the same message-id (headers included below). Collisions are bad, as
some people automatically discard messages with duplicate IDs.
The message-ids seem to be [EMAIL PROTECTED], with 00 < x < 99. I can't
ascertain the derivation of the 'x's, but they would appear to be
heavily biased towards numbers <= 10. This only leaves, at best, a
id-space of about 3 million ids. A figure a tenth of that seems more
likely. This is a bit small.
I propose adding time since the epoch to the message id as a solution.
Thanks,
Brian
