SeaMonkey Mailnews FAQ

How do I make SeaMonkey generate the message ID?

By default, SeaMonkey lets the NNTP server generate the message-ID. This can be changed by entering about:config in the browser location bar.
Add the Boolean preference mail.identity.default.generate_news_message_id.
Set the value to true.

This can be set by identity:

Add the Boolean preference mail.identity.%identitykey%.generate_news_message_id.
Set the value to true.

"%identitykey%" is the id number, as indicated in your prefs.js file.

Once it is set to true, you can set the String pref mail.identity.default.FQDN to use a custom domain. This can also be set by ID using mail.identity.%identitykey%.FQDN.
