evolution still produces bogus message-ids; debian host naming docs don't help [was: take 3 bounce test]

ok, works now.

I should file a debian bug, probably. I don't feel like
it just now. But here's the ammo, for when I find the fortitude...

gerald finds bug report he filed in 2002, with @dirk given as example of
bogus msgid :)

<gerald> my /etc/hosts starts: 127.0.0.1       conky.w3.org localhost
conky conky.impressive.net 


<gerald> homer.w3.org is nothing like that and doesn't have fqdn
in /etc/hostname , but hostname works fine there.
<DanC> why is this deep dark magic? My setup is probably the 80% case
for evolution/debian
<gerald> yeah, very frustrating
<gerald> all I remember is that I did all the right things and it still
didn't work, then I mucked with /etc/hosts and that helped somehow.


I'd like to see something helpful in the "naming the computer"
section of the Debian Reference.
