Hi,
As mentionned before, we happen to fail to receive email messages related to updates on elog entries at our site. My understanding is that the SMTP header Message-Id MUST be unique for each email message. Whereas all elogd email messages get something like <logbook>-<entryId>@<domain>. See source code. For this header to become unique, there should be a random part in it.
Having the same Message-Id in multiple email messages results in only the first one being delivered on some email systems.
Moreover, elogd sets the In-Reply-To: header in the same manner (<logbook>-<entryId>@<domain>). Which is incorrect because this header relates to email messages, not elog entries, and should contain the email Message-Id of the email message to which it replies, itself handled by the email messaing system. But elogd hasn't received any email messsage in the first place. So I believe this header should simply be dropped.
I think I can provide a pull request on bitbucket for the Message-Id issue, and probably also for the In-Reply-To: if you decide it can be removed.
Cheers
