Hi Junio > The script generates a Message-ID alongwith the other headers when > gen_header is called, and is sent alongwith the email. For most email > providers, including gmail, the Message-ID goes unchanged to the > recipient. > > But, this does not seem to be a case with Outlook.

(Link: https://github.com/gbarr/perl-authen-sasl/commit/958a3aa165d30cf4e3cbb36dc45306de627aa13f) Now the only really needed patch is this, i.e., the v6 with a single patch! Thanks Aditya
