There is already a header that does exactly what you want. It is called Message-ID. Exim includes it in the <= log line. The contents of Message-ID: are supposed to be unique for every message. You may want to consider what to do if an incoming message does not have a Message-ID. -- Philip Hazel University of Cambridge Computing Service, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cambridge, England.
