Possibly a bit OT but on the Message-ID part, how big of a concern is it that the rhs be a real FQDN (or is it mailbox?) I thought I recalled this being discussed heavily here at one point and some consensus being that it wasn't to important. And in keeping with your comments, the real item is uniqueness. I get a little confused about the uniqness issue. Not really seeing how a mail machine name is more unique than some homeboy thing I hacked in there (rhs).
