It would be helpful if you could distinguish more clearly between these two things. As I mentioned previously Leafnode may be posting to more than one upstream server so it must use a locally generated Message-Id. Attempting to use the host part of the Message-Id suggested by the server to generate a Path entry would be a bit risky risky since there is a reasonable chance that an upstream server will use that too. > I made several tests with different Path: headers and Message-IDs. > Depending on the contents of the Path: header my articles are delivered > or get lost.

Could you be more specific about the tests which you performed which identified the problem?

Could you provide a Message-Id for such an article, please? -- "You grabbed my hand and we fell into it, like a daydream - or a fever."
