A few versions ago, some genius in Redmond seemingly decided that (a)
Outlook obviously would only be used with Exchange and (b) that the form of
Message-Id: which Outlook had been using was giving away information about
the internal network.  So Outlook no longer does Message-Id: headers,
leaving it to Exchange to stick one on.

Exim's control=submission appeared at about that time.

Item (a) above is manifestly untrue.  Item (b) above could likely have been
worked around by using a hash of the workstation's MAC address on the right
of the @ in the Message-Id.  [The Microsoft of that time might well have
created a new, insecure hash mechanism and patented it.]
