I am trying to make it so that my PHP script generates it's own Message-ID's when sending mail through Sendmail. For some reason it is not working as I hoped. I have tried the mail() command by using: mail("dreamboy@aros.net","Subject","message","Message-ID: <200306250355.WiApIFlA@aros.net>"); That doesn't seem to work when I look at my e-mail client it seems to have it's own message-id for the e-mail i sent, can anyone help me on this?

probably that header is ignored/replaced/overwritten by the mailer. Does it need to be called message-ID or can you live with any other name? I once attempted to use extra headers to identify replies for a forum i wanted to make that would put emailed reactions correctly in the threads. but unfortunately every mail program handles headers differently in replies. :( Chris PS: I'm sort of happy that message_ID cannot be overwritten, spam-control-wise, even though i know spammers are often impossible to track
