I've figured out that a friend's Domino Notes server is [being

|Message-ID:

Notes seems to insert reasonable looking message IDs .. this one has
the domain part munged out of it, and is 6.5.4 rather than 7, but I
have seen the same with other notes versions.

Message-ID: <OF6E4D1F32.7496756A-ON88256FB8.0002C22D-88256FB8.00034533 () foo bar com>

So unless this is some kind of bug in domino 7, I'd probably parse
this lack of message id as your friend or his notes admin goofed on
their server's config, or perhaps someone there is trying security by
obscurity, by suppressing "internal header information" etc.
