Re: message id handling

[James MacKinnon <jmack@phys.ualberta.ca>]

in smtpserver/smtpdata.c (v 2.99.55), there is:

#ifdef USE_ANTISPAM_HACKS
        if (CISTREQN(linebuf, "Message-ID:", 11)) {
          /* Freeze any mail with no message id in the message-id header,
           * or a message id with obvious syntax errors, or message id
           * with junk after it. These are highly likely to be spam, though
           * they might only be a result of buggy software. (MS Exchange?)
           */

Is anyone actually using this define, and with any success?
