Hi,

We are running mailman2 with postfix and CentOS. For a long time the mail 
gateway was mailgun. Recently switched to Amazon SES.

Now there are complaints that "threading" isn't right. That is, organizing the 
results according to topic, and correlating replies with specific other replies.

It turns out that "The Amazon Simple Email Service (AWS SES) rewrites the 
Message-ID header of outgoing emails."

This means the References and In-Reply-To headers can't be relied on anymore 
also, since they won't always match up. These headers:

Message-ID: <[email protected]>
References: <[email protected]>
In-Reply-To: <[email protected]>

might now appear as:

In-Reply-To: 
<010f0187dca41ec8-478dfff5-d27d-4879-ab72-072be2f76176-000...@us-east-2.amazonses.com>
References: 
<010f0187d80eb0dd-93bebdd9-cabf-4ad6-a7f4-b5515bd22d31-000...@us-east-2.amazonses.com>
<010f0187dca41ec8-478dfff5-d27d-4879-ab72-072be2f76176-000...@us-east-2.amazonses.com>

But perhaps a main problem is that for a large outgoing mailing, the Message-ID 
might not be consistent when sending to 1000's of recipients. Maybe not 
everyone sees the same Message-ID.

Any thoughts on the topic?

Has anyone used Amazon SES, and does the "threading" in the archives line up 
correctly?

Thanks,
Sam
