Also posted this question to the mailman3 list yesterday. Andrew
Hodgson sent an informative answer, so that's probably it. "Amazon SES
rewrites the Message-ID. Yep and for this reason I don't use it. The
problem is worse in Mailman3 because it has a much more superior
archive display which gets ruined when people reply to messages with
different Message-Id headers and the threading can't be observed. I
also had to use the anonymous mode with my list as Amazon didn't like
me using random …
[View More]addresses in the From: header. I'm still looking for a
tolerant mail gateway to use with Mailman."

Hi,
At the website https://mail.python.org/archives/list/mailman-users@python.org/latest there is an option to "Start a new thread". I clicked that and entered a message. It said, if you are not already subscribed, sending the message will subscribe you. Perfect.
So, did that, and sent a message and subscribed.
However, not seeing the message in either the archive or my inbox. So, trying to "Start a new thead" again. Let's see.
Thanks.
Hi,
We are running mailman2 with postfix and CentOS. For a long time the mail gateway was mailgun. Recently switched to Amazon SES.
Now there are complaints that "threading" isn't right. That is, organizing the results according to topic, and correlating replies with specific other replies.
It turns out that "The Amazon Simple Email Service (AWS SES) rewrites the Message-ID header of outgoing emails."
This means the References and In-Reply-To headers can't be relied on anymore also, since …
[View More]they won't always match up. These headers:
Message-ID: <127401d9389b$e874b7f0$b95e27d0$(a)gmail.com>
References: <126301d93891$58081b80$08185280$(a)gmail.com>
In-Reply-To: <126301d93891$58081b80$08185280$(a)gmail.com>
might now appear as:
In-Reply-To: <010f0187dca41ec8-478dfff5-d27d-4879-ab72-072be2f76176-000000(a)us-east-2.amazonses.com>

But perhaps a main problem is that for a large outgoing mailing, the Message-ID might not be consistent when sending to 1000's of recipients. Maybe not everyone sees the same Message-ID.
Any thoughts on the topic?
Has anyone used Amazon SES, and does the "threading" in the archives line up correctly?
Thanks,
Sam
