    Hi,

    All campaign emails sent from the listmonk app leave with a
    Message-ID header pointing at localhost.localdomain, e.g.:

      Message-ID: <1776433035469678859.1.4025817209405639301@localhost.localdomain>
    

    This is a minor but real deliverability smell — some spam filters
    have heuristics against it, and it's unambiguously a misconfiguration.

    Root cause

    listmonk uses the knadh/smtppool library. In
    smtppool/email.go :: generateMessageID():

      h, err := os.Hostname()
      if err != nil || !strings.Contains(h, ".") {
          h = defaultHostname   // = "localhost.localdomain"
      }
    

    https://github.com/knadh/smtppool/blob/master/email.go

    app UUID (e.g. 9983cd4c-e53c-436e-af86-84bdbc749178) — no dot,
    so smtppool falls back to the hardcoded localhost.localdomain.

    The "EHLO hostname" setting in listmonk admin does not help —
    smtppool uses it only for the SMTP handshake, not for Message-ID
    generation (two separate fields in the library).

    Proposed fix (Cloudron package, one-liner)

    Set the container hostname to CLOUDRON_APP_DOMAIN — either via
    --hostname at run time, or hostname "$CLOUDRON_APP_DOMAIN" at
    the top of the start script. Message-ID then becomes
    <…@listen.example.com> instead of @localhost.localdomain.

    An upstream config option in listmonk/smtppool would be the proper
    fix, but the Cloudron-side workaround resolves it immediately for
    all Cloudron listmonk users.

    Environment

    • Cloudron: 9.0.0
    • listmonk app image: cloudron/app.listmonk.cloudronapp:202603300219460000

    Happy to test a patched build. Thanks!
