It should uniquely identify the host that generated the Message-ID -
but it need not be the host's FQDN. The point is that there should be
no chance of another host using that same identifier by accident. If
you control all of domain.com, and you want the host foo.domain.com to
use msgid.foo.domain.com in its Message-IDs, feel free to do that -
just make sure other hosts in domain.com respect that convention.

If you don't control your DNS domain, you can't ensure that your
convention will be respected.
