Question

Question: XXX Please read the problem description before the question XXX -
Is it possible to automatically change the "Message-ID" in each message, from Message-id? How would that be done?
Please respond with any clarifications or questions, comments, solutions.

Customer is currently running Sun Java(tm) System Messaging Server 7.3-11.01 64bit (built Sep 1 2009)).
Here is the situation:
In order to archive Sun Mail Server traffic the Sun messaging system BCC’s every message to an Exchange Journal. Archiving software picks up the messages from Exchange journal mailbox and archives them.
Here is the problem at hand:
Sun Messages Journaled by Exchange is unable to be Journal Archived by Archiving product
•     An issue has been identified with the current format of the sunmail envelope structure with the case sensitivity of Message-id value.
Root Cause
•     When the Message-id value is Message-id, the Exchange Journaled Sun Message , cannot be Journal Archived
•     Message-ID is recognized by Archiving Software, and Archiving Software archives the message properly.
Workaround
•     Manually change the Message-id value to upper case ; Message –ID
•     This enables the message to be Journal Archived
Current Status
Customer is looking to automate this manual workaround and has requested a Product Enhancement which will automate the process.
When we compared the two envelopes, we see the following:
SunMail envelope msg:
Sender: <smtp:[email protected]>
Message-id: <[email protected]>
Recipients:
"jdoe" <smtp:[email protected]>
Exchange 2003 envelope msg:
Sender: "XXXX Bhatia" <smtp:[email protected]>
Message-ID: <[email protected]>
Recipients:
"zz_Oscar XXXXXX" <smtp:[email protected]>,
"'[email protected]'" <smtp [email protected]>
Notice the difference regarding Message ID. It appears that we we are looking for Message-Id: or Message-ID: , not Message-id.

<snip RFC3028>
However, when a string represents the name of a header, the
comparator is never user-specified. Header comparisons are always
done with the "i;ascii-casemap" operator, i.e., case-insensitive
comparisons, because this is the way things are defined in the
message specification [IMAIL].

How would that be done?Why can this not be fixed at the archiving applications end? Have you approached the vendor to ask why they use case-sensitive header name comparisons?
