ISTR (but I could be wrong) that I needed to do it because messages were getting rejected by subsequent mail servers for not having MIDs.[Catching up] Unfortunately, having a Message-Id: header is still a SHOULD, even in RFC 5322. So one really ought not to reject based (only) on their lack. It would be very nice if I could. (And if running a server only for myself, I likely would, with provision for an exception list.)
A SHOULD in the RFC, is about the same a MUST. That means, with SHOULD, you are not "forced" to implement it, but if you don't, expect to have problems.
3. SHOULD This word, or the adjective "RECOMMENDED", mean that there may exist valid reasons in particular circumstances to ignore a particular item, but the full implications must be understood and carefully weighed before choosing a different course.
