>Description:
mutt is lacking a configuration option for the structure of the Message-IDs. It 
insists on generating the Message-IDs on its own. Therefore I have Message-IDs 
like
<20060106083603.GA7391@xxxxxxxxxx>
when sending with mutt. 

Unfortunately, there are plenty of spammers which search through mailing list 
archives for e-mail-address patterns. They collect these message-ids and put 
them in their address lists. 

For some special reason I have to accept any mail to my domain (catchall 
recipient), therefore I get millions of spam to these message-id-addresses. 

Mutt should have an option where to configure the domain part of the Message ID 
to allow giving it some subdomain of the domain which is not reachable by 
e-mail.



>How-To-Repeat:
>Fix:
Allow a configuration option to configure the domain part of the message ID. Or 
better: Allow an sprintf-like String to freely configure it.
