Impact

  • notifications get a big penalty in Spamassassin (4.7 INVALID_MSGID=1.167,MSGID_NOFQDN1=2.899) and maybe other spam protection mechanisms, so at risk to be filtered and not seen by recipients
  • potential interoperability problems with mail user agents

Sample

Message-ID: <m20240606.1>

*Expected behaviour

According to https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc5322#page-25 the format is

msg-id = [CFWS] "<" id-left "@" id-right ">" [CFWS]

So this part is missing: @" id-right "

Typically a domain or a "domain-like" identifier is chosen and must be unique, not necessarily a valid hostname, e. g.

Message-ID: <m20240606.1@voting.cacert.org>
