SYSNAME
This global config-string is mandatory. It must be specified and
it must be unique for each system/MB.
It's the name of the system in fully qualified domain-format; it
must match the pattern "#[a-z0-9_].#['-a-z0-9._]".
NOTE that in contrast to previous version of UMS this may not
contain "@" anymore. Use only the part after "@".
NOTE also that now there's only one global SYSNAME. Expoters
cannot use this anymore, but there is a new string MSGID.
MSGID
now there is always a global config-string "MSGID", which
defaults to
( MSGID $serial @ $sysname )
This default usually doesn't need to be changed. But you can
specify an optional MSGID for each exporter.
The MSGID string is used to create message-ids whenever new
messages are created. Exporter-specific MSGIDs allow to choose
alternate formats for differents exporters. However this is only
possible when the new message is accessibly by exactly one
exporter. If there is more than one exporter, e.g. in case of
crosspostings, multiple-recipient mails or several possible
exporters for one mail, then the globals MSGID will be used.
MSGID must use one of "$serial" or "$serial8". These are virtual
config-strings, giving consecutive decimal numbers from 1 trough
99999999 each time a message-id is generated. They are used to
make message-ids unique.
The differences between $serial and $serial8 is that $serial can
have 1 through 8 digits, whereas $serial8 always has 8 digits.
$serial8 has leading zeroes whenever neccessary.
NOTE that the result of MSGID must match the global AKA pattern!
It's considered invalid otherwise.
