I don't think we're talking about the same thing.  In my Ideal
Universe(TM), I'd connect to the message-id port of some host
(perhaps localhost), and it would reply with a valid message-id.
A bit like how the chargen service works.  Then Gnus and all the
other systems out there using message-ids wouldn't have to each
implement their own generators, and there'd be less chance of
collisions.  But I think that now is too late to put the genie
back into the bottle.
