The msgid does not need to be the DNS FQDN of your host.  If the host
master of the frob.org domain tells you that you can use the right
hand side `chris.msgid.frob.org' for your messages, and that uniquely
identifies your host, then you can do that.

Since you have your own domain, you appear to be your own host master,
so I'm sure you can find a rhs that you can use.

If you give every user their own rhs, you can completely hide the
network structure.  And you can have your MTA bounce or drop mails
sent to such hosts.
