Now I'm really confused..
Wait... shouldn't that smtp server AlWAYS use the same rhs?
Pauls' other post in part:

The machine has a name like (/etc/hosts entry):
reader.local.lan 192.168.xx.xxx reader
There must be several (100/1000 ?) that could possibly have that FQDN.
How is this uniqueness obtained?
If I allowed gnus to generate the Message-ID (rhs) by its own devices,
then it would be:
Message-ID: <m1hey9z673.fsf@reader.local.lan>
Instead of:
Message-ID: <m1hey9z673.fsf@ptw.com>
Hard to see how either of these can be guarranteed to be unique any
more than:
Message-ID: <m1hey9z673.fsf@super.clever.insertion>
