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.
